Improve configuration of clingo via the API #121

Currently there is no way to detect if the program was startet with --text in the API.
It would be nice if the configuration file would also handle options added by the user via the API.

I am not sure what is the best way to add this to the API. One way could be to extend the configuration with (possible read-only) values. I am not sure how difficult it would be to implement this in the existing system. This solution would have the charm that this is an often requested feature.

It would be nice to be able to use the portfolio feature (--configuration=file) to also parse options added via the clingo API.
