[PATCH 1/5] lib: provide config API

[David Bremner <david@tethera.net>]

This is a thin wrapper around the Xapian metadata API. The job of this
layer is to keep the config key value pairs from colliding with other
metadata by transparently prefixing the keys, along with the usual glue
to provide a C interface.

The split of _get_config into two functions is to allow returning of the
return value with different memory ownership semantics.
