Title: Allow splitting of long lines in configuration files using the \ character

This can be especially useful if you have multiple modulepaths in your config file.

```
modulepath = $confdir/modules/upstream:$confdir/modules/internal:$confdir/environments/$environment/modules/upstream:$confdir/environments/$environment/modules/internal
```

becomes

```
modulepath = \
$confdir/modules/upstream:\
$confdir/modules/internal:\
$confdir/environments/$environment/modules/upstream:\
$confdir/environments/$environment/modules/internal
```
