config.cc: extract parts of applyConfigFile into applyConfig
This moves the actual parsing of configuration contents into applyConfig
which applyConfigFile is then going to call. By changing this we can now
test the configuration file parsing without actually create a file on
disk.

Eelco Dolstra f8abbdd456 Add priority setting to stores
This allows overriding the priority of substituters, e.g.

  $ nix-store --store ~/my-nix/ -r /nix/store/df3m4da96d84ljzxx4mygfshm1p0r2n3-geeqie-1.4 \
    --substituters 'http://cache.nixos.org?priority=100 daemon?priority=10'

Fixes #3264.

Modularize config settings
Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config
classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files
etc. are applied.

Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it
removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the
underlying cause of that issue.

nix: Make all options available as flags
Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name>
<value>’. So

  --option http-connections 100

becomes

  --http-connections 100

Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a
non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are
fatal.

Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the
argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g.

  --option auto-optimise-store false

becomes

  --no-auto-optimise-store

Convert Settings to the new config system
This makes all config options self-documenting.

Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a
warning.

Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:

  class MyClass : private Config
  {
    Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"};
    Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};

    MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf"))
    {
      std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden
    }
  };

Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store
parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.
