config: provide access to the current line number
Users are nowadays trained to see message from CLI tools in the form
<file>:<lno>: …
To be able to give such messages when notifying the user about
configurations in any config file, it is currently only possible to get
the file name (if the value originates from a file to begin with) via
`current_config_name()`. Now it is also possible to query the current line
number for the configuration.
