Added a lot of logging to error, trace and message logs which should help the user to handle errors which can't be automatically resolved, like attempt to use nonexisting database.
In order to be able to protect the interface so that mistyped argument
do not endanger MaxScale yet still allow the developer access a router
option has been added that gives the debugcli two modes.
In practice, 'reload config' reads config file and updates config parameters of rwsplit router service. In addition to that there is a version number indicating what generation of configuration service holds. When router instance is created (when MaxScale is started) service's config version is copied to router intance. Whenever new client connection (rwsplit session) is started, router instance's config version is checked against that of service's. If versions differ, service's config data is copied to router instance. New session will be started with router instance's config values.
Parameter it read from config file to CONFIG_CONTEXT's parameter list. It is qualified in service.c:service_set_slave_conn_limit and if qualified, the qualified integer value and the value type are copied to the CONFIG_PARAMETER structure.
This CONFIG_PARAMETER struct is cloned (=copied to different memory area) and linked to RW Split SERVICE struct.
When RW Split router_instance is created in readwritesplit.c:createInstance, the value is copied to (new) rwsplit_config_t structure from SERVICE's parameter list.
When new routing session is created in readwritesplit.c:newSession, the rwsplit_config_t structure is copied to ROUTER_CLIENT_SES struct and the actual max_nslaves value is calculated from the config value (if percentage is used).
Tests and many error handling branches are missing but functionality seems to be working.
