[tor-commits] [stem/master] Expanding Config class' set() method

    Expanding Config class' set() method
    
    Users of the set method would usually expect it to overwrite our current
    configuration value rather than append to it (thanks to Sathyanarayanan for the
    catch). Also expanding it to handle list or tuple values.
