config: examine whole file when writing
Previously we would try to be clever when writing the configuration file and try to stop parsing (and simply copy the rest of the old file) when we either found the value we were trying to write, or when we left the section that value was in, the assumption being that there was no more work to do. Regrettably, you can have another section with the same name later in the file, and we must cope with that gracefully, thus we read the whole file in order to write a new file. Now, writing a file looks even more than reading. Pull the config parsing out into its own function that can be used by both reading and writing the configuration.
