Broken handling of magic quotes in admin settings and set_config in general

The problem is that there is no policy on quoting of data supplied to set_config() function. In either case it is broken, if the magic quotes are used the storage into db is ok, but the current value in $CFG->xx is updated incorrectly; if the value is not slashed it can not be stored into database.

The problem with admin settings is that the defaults values are sent into set_config() without magic quotes applied, but data submitted from user are with magic quotes.

Solution is to require values for set_config() to be unslashed and fix admin settings to strip the slashes from user submitted data.
