config: store the section name separately

The section and variable names use different rules, so store them as
two different variables internally.

This will simplify the configuration-writing code as well later on,
but even with parsing, the code is simpler.

Take this opportunity to add a variable to the list directly when
parsing instead of passing through config_set.
