Retrieves a string variable from the current config file. The section
name may be set to NULL to read variables from the root of the file, or
used to control which set of parameters (eg. sound or joystick) you are
interested in reading. Example:
const char *lang = get_config_string("system", "language", "EN");

file. If the named variable cannot be found, or its entry in the con‐
fig file is empty, the value of `def' is returned.
