Improve nix show-config --json
In particular, show descriptions. This could be used for manpage
generation etc.

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.
