libutil/config: unify path setting types

There have been multiple setting types for paths that are supposed to be
canonicalised, depending on whether zero or one, one, or any number of paths is
to be specified. Naturally, they behaved in slightly different ways in the
code. Simplify things by unifying them and removing special behaviour (mainly
the "multiple paths type can coerce to boolean" thing).
