[PATCH v3 0/4] Fix a bug in configuration parsing, and improve tests and documentation

[Dragan Simic <dsimic@manjaro.org>]

This series is an evolvement from another recent series, [1] as a result
of a decision to fix a longstanding bug in the parsing of configuration
option values, instead of documenting the status quo. [2][3]

The bufgix introduced in this series _should_ have no hidden negative
effects.  All of the configuration-related tests, both the old and the
new ones, pass with the patches applied.

In v2, this series had five patches in total, out of which the third patch
(i.e. patch 3/5) was dropped in v3. [4]  Other changes in v2 and v3 are
described in each of the patches.

There will be follow-up patches, to address the majority of the points
raised during the review of this series. [5]
