Adding util for handling configuration files
Integration tests and other things will be stored via configuration files
(hardcoding data in source is a horrible thing and you have no excuse unless
you're writing in LISP). This is being stolen from the arm codebase, with the
code refactored for this project's conventions, some fixes to better generalize
the util, and vastly improved documentation.
Tom has been using the config util a bit for his torperf rewrite and having
difficulties so hopefully this will make its usage easier.

+This provides handlers for specially formatted configuration files. Entries are
+expected to consist of simple key/value pairs, and anything after "#" is
+stripped as a comment. Excess whitespace is trimmed and empty lines are
+ignored. For instance:
+# This is my sample config
+
+user.name Galen
+user.password yabba1234 # here's an inline comment
+user.notes takes a fancy to pepperjack chese
+blankEntry.example
+
+would be loaded as four entries (the last one's value being an empty string).
+If a key's defined multiple times then the last instance of it is used.
+
+Example usage:
+ User has a file at '/home/atagar/myConfig' with...
+ destination.ip 1.2.3.4
+ destination.port blarg
+
+ startup.run export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
+ startup.run alias l=ls
+
+ And they have a script with...
+ import stem.util.conf
+
+ # Configuration values we'll use in this file. These are mappings of
+ # configuration keys to the default values we'll use if the user doesn't
+ # have something different in their config file (or it doesn't match this
+ # type).
+
+ ssh_config = {"login.user": "atagar",
+ "login.password": "pepperjack_is_awesome!",
+ "destination.ip": "127.0.0.1",
+ "destination.port": 22,

+
+ # Makes an empty config instance with the handle of 'ssh_login'. This is a
+ # singleton so other classes can fetch this same configuration from this
+ # handle.
+
+ user_config = stem.util.conf.get_config("ssh_login")
+
+ # Loads the user's configuration file, warning if this fails.
+
+ try:
+ user_config.load("/home/atagar/myConfig")

+ print "Unable to load the user's config: %s" % exc
+
+ # Replaces the contents of ssh_config with the values from the user's
+ # config file if...
+ # - the key is present in the config file
+ # - we're able to convert the configuration file's value to the same type
+ # as what's in the mapping (see the Config.get() method for how these
+ # type inferences work)
+ #
+ # For instance in this case the login values are left alone (because they
+ # aren't in the user's config file), and the 'destination.port' is also
+ # left with the value of 22 because we can't turn "blarg" into an integer.
+ #
+ # The other values are replaced, so ssh_config now becomes...
+ # {"login.user": "atagar",
+ # "login.password": "pepperjack_is_awesome!",
+ # "destination.ip": "1.2.3.4",
+ # "destination.port": 22,
+ # "startup.run": ["export PATH=$PATH:~/bin", "alias l=ls"]}

+ # Information for what values fail to load and why are reported to
+ # 'stem.util.log'.
