Introduce ability to change seed addresses on a running node
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1361
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1361
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Valentino Volonghi


Since seed nodes are not only used for bootstrap but also for gossiping it 
would be really useful to be able to replace seed addresses on running nodes 
without restarting them since at the moment you can only change seed nodes by 
changing configuration file and then restarting cassandra.

My usecase is to be able to replace failed seed nodes in cassandra without 
having to proceed to a rolling restart of the cluster. And also to be able to 
start X nodes that initially might be independent but then would all join an 
existing ring by changing their seeds.
