    Log Message:
    Add iniGetClampedInt() to return an int key val clamped to a min/max range

    Very similar to iniGetIntInRange(), but the default value is only returned
    if the key or value is missing.

    Add iniGet/ReadSectionListWithDupes()

    For use cases were we don't want to silenty ignore duplicate (secondary) section definitions.

    Add iniAppendSectionWithNamedStrings()

    If you have list of named strings (named_string_t) and want to add them as
    a section of key/value pairs to a [section] in .ini formatted string list, this is the function you want to use. I'm not sure if this is exactly what Deuce had in mind (for use in SyncTERM), but it wasn't a lot of code to write and might be useful to someone someday.

    Log Message:
    The iniFree*StringList() functions now return the type passed

    This helps with C++ callers that use the short-hand syntax:
    list = iniFreeStringList(list)

    ... with C++'s increased type-safety, you can't just assign void* around willy-nilly.

    Create iniGetSparseStringList()

    iniGetStringList() treats consecutive separators as a single separator and
    I needed to be able to load sparse lists from .ini files for the upcoming "multiple loadable modules" feature of Synchronet.
