While most functions of the readonly configuration backend are
implemented separately from the writeable configuration backend, the two
functions `config_iterator_new` and `config_get` are shared between
both. This sharing makes it necessary to have some shared data
structures, which is the `diskfile_header` structure. Unfortunately, this
makes the backends harder to grasp than necessary due to all the casting
between structs and also quite error prone.

Reimplement those functions for the readonly backends. As readonly
backends cannot be refreshed anyway, we can remove the calls to
`config_refresh` in there.
