Previously, users needed to edit the secrets.php file before they could use HashOver. This requirement posed a number of problems, such as a needlessly-complicated upgrade procedure. This commit moves the configuration to an .ini file in the config/ directory. A secrets.ini is not included - instead, there is a secrets.ini.sample file, which users can copy to secrets.ini before editing. This allows simpler upgrades by means of a 'git pull' or 'tar xf ...'. The .ini file format was chosen as it is directly supported by the PHP core (as INI support is needed by PHP itself to read php.ini), allows comments (unlike JSON), and has a simple and obvious syntax. Moving the file to be edited away from backend/classes/ and into config/ also makes it more discoverable.
This fixes failing to save the configuration in the administration interface when the configuration files are missing.
As of the previous commit, it is no longer necessary to include them in the distribution - in their absence, HashOver will use the default values, and the administration interface will create them when saving the configuration for the first time.
