Raise a setup warning when locked configuration has a configuration value stored in the database

Browse source 
Summary:
Ref T13249. See <https://discourse.phabricator-community.org/t/configuring-the-number-of-taskmaster-daemons/2394/>.

Today, when a configuration value is "locked", we prevent //writes// to the database. However, we still perform reads. When you upgrade, we generally don't want a bunch of your configuration to change by surprise.

Some day, I'd like to stop reading locked configuration from the database. This would defuse an escalation where an attacker finds a way to write to locked configuration despite safeguards, e.g. through SQL injection or policy bypass. Today, they could write to `cluster.mailers` or similar and substantially escalate access. A better behavior would be to ignore database values for `cluster.mailers` and other locked config, so that these impermissible writes have no effect.

Doing this today would break a lot of installs, but we can warn them about it now and then make the change at a later date.

Test Plan:
  - Forced a `phd.taskmasters` config value into the database.
  - Saw setup warning.
  - Used `bin/config delete --database phd.taskmasters` to clear the warning.
  - Reviewed documentation changes.
  - Reviewed `phd.taskmasters` documentation adjustment.

Locked Configuration With Database Values
=========================================
You may receive a setup issue warning you that a locked configuration key has a
value set in the database. Most commonly, this is because:
- In some earlier version of Phabricator, this configuration was not locked.
- In the past, you or some other administrator used the web UI to set a
value. This value was written to the database.
- In a later version of the software, the value became locked.
When Phabricator was originally released, locked configuration did not yet
exist. Locked configuration was introduced later, and then configuration options
were gradually locked for a long time after that.
In some cases the meaning of a value changed and it became possible to use it
to break an install or the configuration became a security risk. In other
cases, we identified an existing security risk or arrived at some other reason
to lock the value.
Locking values was more common in the past, and it is now relatively rare for
an unlocked value to become locked: when new values are introduced, they are
generally locked or hidden appropriately. In most cases, this setup issue only
affects installs that have used Phabricator for a long time.
At time of writing (February 2019), Phabricator currently respects these old
database values. However, some future version of Phabricator will refuse to
read locked configuration from the database, because this improves security if
an attacker manages to find a way to bypass restrictions on editing locked
configuration from the web UI.
To clear this setup warning and avoid surprise behavioral changes in the future,
you should move these configuration values from the database to a local config
file. Usually, you'll do this by first copying the value from the database:
```
phabricator/ $ ./bin/config set <key> <value>
```
...and then removing the database value:
```
phabricator/ $ ./bin/config delete --database <key>
```
See @{Configuration User Guide: Advanced Configuration} for some more detailed
discussion of different configuration sources.
