From: Guido Trotter <ultrot...@google.com>
Add a very basic configuration update mechanism to objects.
An object can define the UpgradeConfig method, which will be called at
init time, and use it to fill in missing defaults in the configuration.
In the future we may want to make it more complex, for example adding
the config version, but for now a basic solution will do.
