The ckch_store_load_files() function makes specific processing for PARSE_TYPE_STR as if it was a type only used for paths. This patch changes a little bit the way it's done, PARSE_TYPE_STR is only meant to strdup() a string and stores the resulting pointer in the ckch_conf structure. Any processing regarding the path is now done in the callback. Since the callbacks were basically doing the same thing, they were transformed into the DECLARE_CKCH_CONF_LOAD() macros which allows to do some templating of these functions. The resulting ckch_conf_load_* functions will do the same as before, except they will also do the path processing instead of letting ckch_store_load_files() do it, which means we don't need the "base" member anymore in the struct ckch_conf_kws.
