4e648cf009 [modules] Add module-specific configuration
Big oversight in my previous commits: Widgets need to be able to have
specific configurations (i.e. the path for different instances of the
"disk" module has to be different).

To account for that, it is now possible to assign an "alias" to a module
instance using ":" (for example: -m "disk:home"). This alias is then
used for the configuration parameter resolution automatically, for
example:

-m disk:home -p home.path=/home

As a consequence, parameter names in the module code are now relative to
the module, which means: shorter!

18d7e1befb [config] Allow parameter passing via commandline
Allow the user to specify arbitrary configuration parameters from the
commandline and evaluate those in the modules (and elsewhere). Re-enable
the CPU module as a first showcase of this functionality.

998db40a2d [theme] Re-implement rotation of values for theme entries
Allow theme entries to be lists that are then iterated. For this
purpose, extend the Config class so that it can serve as generic store
for data items. That makes it easy to centralize code used for rotation
etc. in a single place.

7f91b8298f [modules] Refactor module initialization
Modules now get an output and a complete config object. This should make
customization much easier in the future.

and serve as central repository for this kind of information.
