Patch adding "read-conf"

Please find attached a patch implementing "read-conf" in the Lua loader, as
defined in loader.4th(8). Is currently in use with `head` and `stable/12`
machines without problems.

For the record:

1. As this command is not built-in, it would normally have to obey Lua syntax,
which forbids calling functions having a `-` in their name with the common
function call syntax. However, .

2. As a workaround, one could type those two lines:
`config=require("config")`
`config.processFile "<conf_file_name>"`
but this is annoying and not officially documented (most probably on purpose).

Thank you.
