    Finish fixing ini*SString().

    The first fix was to copy the right value, the second fix was to
    ensure zero-length strings are terminated.

    Bugfix and more paranoia in ini*SString() functions.

    Bugfis: Be sure to terminate value if returning deflt.
    Paranoia: Terminate value if iniGetString() returns NULL

    I think the only way to trigger the paranoia is to pass NULL as the
    default when reading a key that's not present.

    For name ints/enums, allow the value to be longer than the name

    This allows me to shorten "Informational" to "Info" and "Debugging" to "Debug" and be backward compatible with existing .ini files. I think "Info" and
    "Debug" are universally known and take up less space (e.g. in SCFG).

    Log Message:
    Add support for root sections to iniParse and friends

    Needed by SyncTERM.

    Note, the error handling of iniParseSections() has changed somewhat... Previously, on an allocation failure, it would return whatever it
    had managed to parse so far with no indication of failure.

    Now, it returns NULL.

    Previously, NULL would be returned if there were no sections.

    Now, NULL will not be returned if there's any global comments, and
    will not be returned if there's any key/value pairs in the global
    section.
