Would a union be more appropriate here? We do not ever have to pass it
directly as a parameter, since we pass the "struct config_source" to the
method functions.

It's still possible to screw up using a union, but it's slightly harder
than screwing up using a void pointer. And I do not think we need the
run-time flexibility offered by the void pointer in this case.

This could become just:

  return fgetc(conf->u.f);

and so forth (might it make sense to give "f" a more descriptive name,
as we are adding other sources?).
