summary: Returns a loaded config for the plugin as ini file.

body:

This loads the config of the plugin as an [Ini File :ext](https://github.com/mitsuhiko/python-inifile).

Dotted paths are used to navigate into sections.  So `get('foo.bar')` would
navigate to the `bar` key in the `[foo]` section.

## Example

```python
from lektor.pluginsystem import Plugin


class MyPlugin(Plugin):

    def on_setup_env(self, **extra):
        color = self.get_config().get('color')
        self.env.jinja_env.globals['my_color'] = color
```
