[pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/1] scripts/library: add config_parser.sh

[lolilolicon]

config_parser.sh provides functions to support parsing simple config
files, pacman.conf in particular.  Our scripts should never use a
simple eval to get config values such as DBPath.

conf_key_val() is modified from pacman-key's get_from() function. Please
note conf_key_val() and conf_key_set() both read config file from stdin,
instead of $1.
