Resync new Admin API is not in the documentation

[Martin Palatnik]

Hi, 

Just to let you know that the resync in the API is not in the official docs (is justa note in the release notes) and it is quite difficult to find. I spent a while this morning trying yo understand how to perform the resync and it was as easy as a admin call. Hope it helps if someone has this issue in the future.  

Cheers,

Martin

I'm actually encountering this issue right now - care to elaborate what the mystical resync admin call is? I looked through release notes but didn't see anything.

In case the devs need more detail: 

On sync gateway config, I changed the sync() function.

I restarted sync gateway and received this message:

"db"'s sync function has changed. The new function may assign different channels to documents, or permissions to users. You may want to re-sync the database to update these.

... with no help on how to re-sync the database.

I'd imagine that changing the sync() function will be a very common occurrence during initial development and having an explanation of how to do it in the docs would be super helpful (or if it shouldn't be necessary, what I'm doing wrong).

Thanks,

-Jonathan

_resync is a database operation on the ADMIN REST API, e.g. invoke using curl

```

curl -X POST  http://127.0.0.1:4985/mydb/_resync

```

Output will be similar (depending on log config) to:

```

Re-running sync function on all 1 documents...

CRUD: Re-syncing document "doc1"

CRUD+: Invoking sync on doc "doc1" rev 1-cd809becc169215072fd567eebd8b8de

Finished re-running sync function; 0 docs changed

```

That's the call,
