[PATCH v3] scripts/config: use sed's POSIX interface

[PATCH v3] scripts/config: use sed's POSIX interface

[Clement Chauplannaz]

Script `config' relies on extensions of `GNU sed', and is thus not
working on all Unixes:
  - in-place edition of files (-i), which can be replaced with
    a temporary file;
  - extended-regexps (-r), which can be split into basic regexps;
  - single-line calls to `a' command, while some implementations
    require a leading newline before the parameter.

Rewrite calls to `sed' to comply with POSIX interface, and move them
to helper functions.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - Moved temporary files handling to txt_* helper functions.
  - Removed useless trailing slash in sed's append command parameter.
  - Edited commit message.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - ANSI C style quoting to produce newlines ($'\n') is replaced with
    printf's, not to introduce further dependency on bash.
  - helper functions are introduced to wrap calls to `sed'.
