 Our new configuration system needs to handle options_act_reversible too.

 But on further examination, there are only two actual "reversible" pieces
 of options_act_reversible:

    * Adjusting the logs.
    * Adjusting the listeners.

 The remainder of the function is all about handling "irreversible",
 immutable options that need to be handled before we can mess with the logs
 or listeners.

 I think this means that we want to split this function into two pieces:
 one part that handles startup-only initialization, and one that handles
 truly reversible option changes.

 I think that the callback for the startup-only initialization should be
 called options_set_init(), options_set_onece(), options_set_early(), or
 something like that.

 The callbacks for truly reversible options should look something like
 this:
 {{{
 int act_reversible(const void *old_options, void *new_options, void
 **transaction_state_out);
 int commit(const void *old_options, void *new_options, void
 *transaction_state);
 int rollback(const void *old_options, void *rejected_options, void
 *transaction_state);
 }}}
