Summary: Provide access to default configuration

Initial Comment:
Make all configuration options visible (log file) and 
accessible (ns_config) as well as their default values.

While it is possible to print out the configuration 
after startup (Example 1 below), only the values set 
up in the config file are visible.

When starting the server in the way that it logs 
'debug' level messages (Example 2 below), a lot of 
default values/ranges are logged but only for those 
where Ns_Log('Debug') is set up. Some are still 
missing (along with the defaults).

Is it possible to not only set variables internally 
during startup but to also build the ns_set needed for 
ns_config command in parallel?


Example 1-----Print config-------------------

set out [list]
foreach section [lsort [ns_configsections]] {
    lappend out [string repeat - 80]
    lappend out "[ns_set name $section]"
    lappend out [string repeat - 80]
    array set section_values [ns_set array $section]
    foreach section_key [lsort [array names 
section_values]] {
        lappend out "$section_key: [set 
section_values([set section_key])]"
    }
    array unset section_values
}
puts [join $outpuf "\n"]

Example 2-----Print config-------------------

...
config: ns/parameters:listenbacklog value=(null) min=0 
max=2147483647 default=32 (int)
config: ns/parameters:dnscache value=(null) 
default=true (bool)
config: ns/parameters:dnscachemaxsize value=(null) 
min=0 max=2147483647 default=512000 (int)
config: ns/parameters:dnswaittimeout value=(null) 
min=0 max=2147483647 default=5 (int)
config: ns/parameters:dnscachetimeout value=(null) 
min=0 max=2147483647 default=60 (int)
