Abort with a clear error message for invalid uses of --config inside a config file

Browse source 
The options.cxx code is not ready to handle recursive use of --config
(for config files). Instead of failing in an ugly way, abort with a
clear error message in such situations. See discussion at
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35838852/>.

Note: it *is* possible to load XML PropertyList files from config files,
      so --config is not entirely "banned" from config files.

+ add missing include
