Subject: [PATCH] Add erl option for reading config from file descriptor

Make it possible for users to specify the option "-configfd FD" when
executing the erl command. When this option is given the system will
try to read and parse configuration parameters from the file
descriptor. At the moment the only configuration format that is
supported is the format that is supported when using the -config
option.

Motivation
----------

Allow users to configure an Erlang system without writing files to
disk (which can be an issue in some container environments with
read-only file systems).

+    <p>When traversing the contents of a <c>sys.config</c> or a
+    <c>-configfd</c> configuration and a filename is encountered, its
+    contents are read and merged with the result so far. When an

+    found, it is merged with the result so far. Merging means that new
+    parameters are added and existing parameter values
+    are overwritten.</p>
     <p><em>Example:</em></p>
     <code type="none">
 sys.config:
 
-[{myapp,[{par1,val1},{par2,val2}]},
- "/home/user/myconfig"].
+["/home/user/myconfig1"
+ {myapp,[{par1,val1},{par2,val2}]},
+ "/home/user/myconfig2"].
+
+myconfig1.config:
+
+[{myapp,[{par0,val0},{par1,val0},{par2,val0}]}].
 
-myconfig.config:
+myconfig2.config:
 
 [{myapp,[{par2,val3},{par3,val4}]}].</code>
     <p>This yields the following environment for <c>myapp</c>:</p>
     <code type="none">
-[{par1,val1},{par2,val3},{par3,val4}]</code>
-    <p>The behavior if a file specified in <c>sys.config</c> does not
-      exist, or is erroneous, is backwards compatible.
-      Starting the runtime system will fail. Installing a new release

-      the erroneous file is ignored.</p>
+[{par0,val0},{par1,val1},{par2,val3},{par3,val4}]</code>
+    <p>The run-time system will abort before staring up if an include file
+    specified in <c>sys.config</c> or a <c>-configfd</c> configuration
+    does not exist, or is erroneous. However, installing a new release
+    version will not fail if there is an error while loading an
