all access is protected with rwlock's.
We use rwlocks here since concurrent reads are likely common.
So far this is a global config lock, if this is a problem we might granularize it by locking on a file level.
config access is not planned to be transaction al yet, if this is a problem we need to expose the rwlock to a config_acquire/config_release function pair
