cli: don't create a NMClient for the 'connection reload' command

It is a waste of resources instantiating a NMClient, filling the
object cache and then throwing everything away without using it. This
can take seconds on slow systems with many objects. Since the
ReloadConnections doesn't need anything from the cache, just execute
the D-Bus method call directly.
