The new gluon.site lua library will eventually replace gluon.site_config
(which is hereby deprecated, but will continue to be supported for a
while).

The new gluon.site library will wrap all values to allow traversing
non-existing tables without errors.

    site = require 'gluon.site'
    c = site.a.b.c -- doesn't fail even if a or a.b don't exist

The wrapped values must be unwrapped using call syntax:

    site_name = site.site_name()

Using the call syntax on a non-existing value will return nil. An
alternative default value may be passed instead:

    mac = site.next_node.mac('16:41:95:40:f7:dc')
