frontlib: Rewrote the ini helper code, finished ini reading/writing support for all relevant file types
/**
* Convenience interface for ini reading/writing.
*
* We currently use iniparser in the background, but using its interface directly is a bit verbose.
* This module is supposed to 1. make ini reading and writing a bit more convenient, and 2. hide
* the iniparser dependency so it can at need be easily replaced.
