Why don't you just return this instead of `TS_ERROR`?

> Time Spent: 2.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> If a plugin adds configuration variables via something like
> `TSMgmtStringCreate` these are marked as "explicit" rather than plugin
> provided defaults, which means the administrator can't tell if the values are
> from the plugin or his configuration. This should be improved to be parallel
> to core configuration values where these case are distinguishable.
