Now config_param::GetBlockValue() can be used to get signed integers
from the configuration.

The new class Path only holds a string pointer without being
responsible for allocation/deallocation.  The FileSystem.hxx library
accepts Path arguments instead of AllocatedPath, to avoid forcing
callers to allocate another string object.

Replaces GLib's GError.

Migrate all callers to use Path directly, instead of doing the
conversion in each caller.
