ahriman configuration

Some groups can be specified for each architecture separately. E.g. if there are build and build:x86_64 groups it will use the option from build:x86_64 for the x86_64 architecture and build for any other (architecture specific group has higher priority). In case if both groups are presented, architecture specific options will be merged into global ones overriding them.

There are two variable types which have been added to default ones, they are paths and lists. List values will be read in the same way as shell does:

• By default, it splits value by spaces excluding empty elements.
• In case if quotation mark (" or ') will be found, any spaces inside will be ignored.
• In order to use quotation mark inside value it is required to put it to another quotation mark, e.g. wor"'"d "with quote" will be parsed as ["wor'd", "with quote"] and vice versa.
• Unclosed quotation mark is not allowed and will rise an exception.

Path values, except for casting to pathlib.Path type, will be also expanded to absolute paths relative to the configuration path. E.g. if path is set to ahriman.ini.d/logging.ini and root configuration path is /etc/ahriman.ini, the value will be expanded to /etc/ahriman.ini.d/logging.ini. In order to disable path expand, use the full path, e.g. /etc/ahriman.ini.d/logging.ini.
