Add an optional C-implementation for configmix.config.unquote and configmix.config.pathstr2path. This is currently for Python 3.5+. It is tested with Python 3.7 and Python3.8 (FreeBSD 12.2 amd64, LLVM 10.0.1). A build for the stable API ("abi3") fails because PyUnicode_New() is currently not in the stable API. Also includes are extended tests for unquote() and pathstr2path().

"ConfigMix" is a library to help with the configuration of
applications and their configuration files.

It reads a couple of configuration files in the following different
styles:

- YAML files
- JSON files
- INI files
- TOML files
- executable Python scripts

It then merges the parsed contents of given files into a *unified*
tree-ish configuration dictionary and presents them as such to the
application. Reading can be done with variable interpolation from
other configuration values.
