Don't clone so many hashes in ConfigurationEncoder

Using [stackprof](https://github.com/tmm1/stackprof), ruby 2.1.3, and a simple script that does VMDB::Config.new("vmdb"), the attached PR drops object allocations by nearly 6%, **16% in ConfigurationEncoder.load**.

The second and third commit show why we're adding the first commit.

**Example 1: VMDB::Config.new("vmdb")**
```ruby
require 'stackprof'
StackProf.run(mode: :object, out: 'tmp/stackprof-object-vmdb-config-new-after.dump') do
  VMDB::Config.new("vmdb")
end
```

**Before**
```
# stackprof tmp/stackprof-object-vmdb-config-new-before.dump --text --limit 500 |grep -Ei "Samples|ConfigurationEncoder"
  Samples: 80497 (0.00% miss rate)
     TOTAL    (pct)     SAMPLES    (pct)     FRAME
      1568   (1.9%)        1566   (1.9%)     block in Vmdb::ConfigurationEncoder.decrypt_password_fields
      5982   (7.4%)         206   (0.3%)     Vmdb::ConfigurationEncoder.walk_nested_hashes
     29765  (37.0%)           7   (0.0%)     Vmdb::ConfigurationEncoder.load
      3114   (3.9%)           4   (0.0%)     Vmdb::ConfigurationEncoder.decrypt_password_fields
```

**After**
```
# stackprof tmp/stackprof-object-vmdb-config-new-after.dump --text --limit 500 |grep -Ei "Samples|ConfigurationEncoder"
  Samples: 75824 (0.00% miss rate)
     TOTAL    (pct)     SAMPLES    (pct)     FRAME
      1568   (2.1%)        1566   (2.1%)     block in Vmdb::ConfigurationEncoder.decrypt_password_fields!

      1778   (2.3%)           4   (0.0%)     Vmdb::ConfigurationEncoder.decrypt_password_fields!
```


**Example 2: VMDB::Config.new("vmdb").save**

```ruby
require 'stackprof'
StackProf.run(mode: :object, out: 'tmp/stackprof-object-vmdb-config-new-save-before.dump') do
  VMDB::Config.new("vmdb").save
end

```
Here's the results of profiling VMDB::Config.new("vmdb").save
**~16% drop in objects from ConfigurationEncoder.load**
**~43% drop in objects from ConfigurationEncoder.decrypt_password_fields**

So, this actually a real legacy thing where the first two layers of the yml files are strings, but the rest are symbols.  These methods are meant to normalize this.  It would take a while to get into the *why* this is.
