Selectively append changes to exported config files

In case of a non-overwriting change to an exported config file
the previous logic appended a new block of text to the previous file
every time the to-be-written block of text was not exactly matched.

This parses the old config file and the to-be-written changes into
sets, which can then be compared. If all of the incoming lines are
found in the old config file set, no changes are made. If some
incoming lines are not found in the old config file, only these are
appended.
