openstack-config doesn't support multi valued option

[ZhiQiang Fan]

openstack-config is used heavily in redhat and suse OS for openstack configuration. However

openstack-config just a simple wrapper of curdini:
https://github.com/redhat-openstack/openstack-utils/blob/master/utils/openstack-config#L21

and crudini doesn't support multi valued option:
https://github.com/pixelb/crudini/blob/master/TODO

crudini actually uses ConfigParser to modify config files, but ConfigParser uses dict to store options, which means it cannot support duplicated options:
https://bitbucket.org/ambv/configparser/src/4bf6a6d8ebdf6eec068750a2b940944a9b1b2938/configparser.py?at=default

So all multi valued option which is set by openstack-config will only get the last setting, for i.e., in section_ceilometer-nova.xml, the notification_driver only get the last one.

This bug only affects redhat and suse OS, and will continue util crudini package supports multi valued option.
