Dynamic settings edit support for the web GUI
Next up is adding support to determine if a setting is a string,
boolean, list, etc. with appropriate editing option for the web GUI
(combo box, multi-select, whatever). Also, need to disallow editing of
the "server" variable dynamically - it breaks things quite quickly.
CLI options I'm considering adding too:
--no-persist: don't rewrite the settings file. Might be useful for
testing changes you don't want to save so a cobblerd restart restores
things to the way they were.
--sync: force a full sync after the setting is changed.
