Currently the backend settings are treated as a list of strings. You
can set the whole list (clearing any strings there previously), but
you cannot search for an individual string or replace an individual
string.
This adds further APIs allowing you to do that. We treat the backend
settings as a list of environment-like strings (ie. name=value), and
add the following functions:
- set-backend-setting (name, value)
Set name=value. Any previous settings of name are cleared.
- get-backend-setting (name)
Search for name or name=value and return the value.
- clear-backend-setting (name)
Remove any name or name=value settings.
This also adds a regression test.
