This PR fixes the Arduino-style config imports (boards.txt, etc) only allow a maximum depth of 3 keys, and now allows for an infinite depth of keys.
For instance, previously you could only import a maximum depth such as:
KeyOne.KeyTwo.KeyThree=MyValueDeeper key/value pairs would previous be discarded and appear incomplete when requested as a setting. For example, this was not possible, and now is:
KeyOne.KeyTwo.KeyThree.KeyFour.KeyFive.KeySix=MyValueAlso added a bugfix which allows the load_arduino_style_settings function to correctly import settings values that contain the
=character. Previously anything between the two=characters would be omitted.The index of keys for each collection, previously
SETTINGSandSUBSETTINGS, has been standardised to justSETTINGS.print_settings()has also been modified for compatibility, using recursion to walk any specified settings tree.Technically, it can also report on any variable that is requested, not just collections (bug? improvement? whoops?)
