[Cms] Namespaced options as array instead of dot-notation

[jenstornell]

In the options in config/config.php, currently what we do is this:

return [
    'jenstornell.robots.content' => 'testing',
    'jenstornell.ga.id' => '12345',
    'jenstornell.ga.debug' => true,
];

It works fine, but I'm very tempted to instead write something like this:

return [
    'jenstornell' => [
        'robots' => [
            'content' => 'testing'
        ],
        'ga' => [
            'id' => '12345',
            'debug' => true,
        ]
    ],
];

The big difference is that the last version is DRY. If the namespace or the plugin name is changed, I can just change it in one place.

Also plugins with the same author will be nicely grouped together when they use the same namespace.

not totally unrelated to DRY is total length of config files. splitting them based on plugin etc.
but rejoice – for which there is a solution:

FWIW, in the latest release of my xmlsitemap I implemented a single-level pseudo-namespace. The readme gives an example. The more interesting bit of code is below. With some recursion it could probably be extended to support multiple levels of namespace.
