The old struct config_param remains only for top-level string options.

Lifts the artificial 31 bit limit in i386 where
sizeof(long)==sizeof(int).

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.

Return Path::Null() instead of dying from assertion failure.

Migrate the remaining callers to FatalError().

Replaces GLib's GError.

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