Handle managed nebula updates correctly (#186)

This fixes a few issues:

1) When updates are made, we will no longer create duplicate VPN profiles, rather we will update existing ones.
2) We will correctly update an existing profile when the site is running and an update is received, rather than attempting to create a new profile, which failed due to permissions errors.  
3) We will always reload nebula, even if we can't successfully save the VPN profile.
4) The default polling interval of 15 minutes is restored (previously set to 30 seconds during testing).

So far in manual testing I've confirmed that I do not lose the tunnel to my lighthouse even after the original 30 minute expiration of a certificate.  This confirms that reloads are occurring correctly.  Additionally, duplicate sites are not created when updates occur while the site is disconnected.
