A new config API is introduced, and ~all of the codebase is adapted to it.
The old API is kept but mainly only for dynamic usage where its extra flexibility is needed.
Using examples, the old config API looked this:
```
>>> config.get("request_expiry", 86400)
604800
>>> config.set_key("request_expiry", 86400)
>>>
```
The new config API instead:
```
>>> config.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS
604800
>>> config.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS = 86400
>>>
```
The old API operated on arbitrary string keys, the new one uses
a static ~enum-like list of variables.
With the new API:
- there is a single centralised list of config variables, as opposed to
these being scattered all over
- no more duplication of default values (in the getters)
- there is now some (minimal for now) type-validation/conversion for
the config values

Note: there is yet a third API added here, for certain niche/abstract use-cases,
where we need a reference to the config variable itself.
It should only be used when needed:
```
>>> var = config.cv.WALLET_PAYREQ_EXPIRY_SECONDS
>>> var
<ConfigVarWithConfig key='request_expiry'>
>>> var.get()
604800
>>> var.set(3600)
>>> var.get_default_value()
86400
>>> var.is_set()
True
>>> var.is_modifiable()
True
```
config.mempool_fees is now [] if server claims mempool is ~empty,
and None if no valid histogram has been received from server.
(previously it used to be [] in both cases)
The few other cases that used SimpleConfig.get_instance() now
either get passed a config instance, or they try to get a reference
to something else that has a reference to a config.
