This is intended to replace testparm -sv | grep "^[[:space:]]*foo bar ="
statements.

Done for the following command line settings:

--section-name global
--section-name mig

No problems reported for the new code if valgrinded with --tool=memcheck
--num-callers=20 --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes

--section-name global --parameter-name workgroup
--section-name mig --parameter-name path

Also no problems reported for dump_a_parameter().

--show-all-parameters

Also no problems reported.
