Subject: [PATCH v1 4/7] streamline_config.pl: include tool to learn about a config option

Include a debugging tool that can help developers find out about a
particular config option.

It can be challenging to find out what is going on behind the scenes of
the script due to the vast amount of config options and the ways the
config options interact with each other.
