Martin Braun 9fb055a78a lib: Add 'prefs' API
This defines and reads configuration files that can be used to customize
UHD's behaviour. On Unix systems, they default to:

/etc/uhd/uhd.conf
$APPDATA/.uhd/uhd.conf

On Windows systems, it will look in:

%ProgramData%/uhd/uhd.conf
%AppData%/.uhd/uhd.conf

* Assume the user has a configuration file as such:
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.ini}
* [type=b200]
* master_clock_rate=20e6
*
* [serial=f42f9b] ; Let's assume this is another B200
* master_clock_rate=10e6
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* If get_usrp_args() gets called with "type" key equal to "b200", it will
* first apply the `master_clock_rate=20e6` settings, as if they had been
* passed in as device args into the initialization sequence. If the device
* happens to have the serial number listed above, i.e., "serial" equals
* "f42f9b", then the new value `master_clock_rate=10e6` will get applied.
*
* If the user actually specified their own value of `master_clock_rate`,
* that value would get applied.
*
*
* \param user_args After getting the device args from the config
* files, all of these key/value pairs will be applied
* and will overwrite the settings from config files
* if they exist.
