It is a bit cleaner than making chains of calls like
{{{
value = os.path.expanduser(value)
value = os.path.abspath(value)
}}}
since we do see all transformations to be applied in a single
iterable and have no repeated code like in the above example.

- Multi-line documentation for functions and methods
now has ending triple-double-quotes on an own line,
as per PEP 257.
- Added documentation and comments to almost all functions
and methods.
- Added stub implementations for getconfig() and getsection()
inside CustomConfig.ConfigHelperMixin to provide sane
run-time diagnostics for classes that doesn't implement them.

Added configuration option "auth_mechanisms" to the config file:
it is a list of mechanisms that will be tried in the specified order.

They are redundant in all pruned cases and sometimes even create some
problems, e.g., when one tries to jump through paragraphs in vi.

A convenience helper function that allows to set a configuration value
if the user has not explicitly configured anything ie the option does
not exist yet in the configuration. It won't do anything, if the option
exists.

Attempt to load first ConfigParser and then configparser. At some point this
should be switched to do the python3 thing first.

apply() has been deprecated since Python 2.3, and won't be working in
python 3 anymore. Use the functional equivalent throughout.

SafeConfigParser is very similar to the currently used ConfigParser but
it supports interpolation. This means values can contain format strings
which refer to other values in the same section, or values in a special
DEFAULT section. For example:
[My Section]
foodir: %(dir)s/whatever
dir=frob
would resolve the %(dir)s to the value of dir (frob in this case). All reference expansions are done on demand.

Improve documentation about what CustomConfigHelperMixin does,
it was not very clear without a close look to the code before.
