Summary	157: Stop storing non-data in the database
Description	Drop storing config stuff in the DB except actual values; use our new hook structure for providing default config values, field names, etc. Make addon_registry hooks store specific-permission details, and drop the table that does that. This will make upgrading easier, as there is less chance of a software/DB mismatch.

This won't be done because the install code needs to run to set defaults, so it would be unnecessarily complex to try and make a whole new API for that, when a single line of install code will do fine. Not for now at least. If we implement the "one kind of addon" tracker issue, perhaps it will.
