config: Handle dropin config files with limited permissions
- During enable/disable of the component, status of the dropin configuration
files was being checked from non-privileged process. If the dropin configuration
file or its parent is readable only by root, then the operation fails. Fix this
by performing the status check in privileged mode.

Tests:

- Unit tests pass.

- Dropin configuration file for redis server works.

config: Add new component for managing drop-in /etc/ config files
- Use two separate strategies: one to symlink from /etc to files in /usr/ and
two to copy files from /usr to /etc. The latter is needed for some rare cases
where symlinks don't work because the daemon runs in a chrooted environment.

- Update tutorial and reference sections in developer documentation.

Tests:

- Unit tests works and are comprehensive.

- Using the component in apps works.
