SB2's Configuration & Initialization Redesign: part 1
Motivation: sb2's per-target configuration files will be split to smaller files (one or more / subsystem) to make it possible to a) reconfigure parts of the system, without doing a full re-initialization with sb2-init and b) to make it possible to upgrade parts of the configuration automatically (previously, a full reinitialization (by sb2-init) has been mandatory always when the configuration file format has been changed) This commit introduces some changes to the configuration infrastructure that are needed in the future; the old config file system is still used for all real configuration variables. First, there are two new helper scripts: - "sb2-upgrade-config" is called automatically by the "sb2" script whenever configuration files need to be updated. - "sb2-parse-sb2-init-args" is now used to parse the command line of "sb2-init"; this script is needed by "sb2-upgrade-config", too. Second, "sb2-init" has changes: in addition to the argument processing, some checks have been re-ordered etc, but there are no real, functional changes Third, a configuration log was added. The idea is that every time when the configuration is changed (by any component, either manually or automatically) the change should be logged. The log can be displayed by sb2-config (a new option was added to that)
