Description

Previous updates to ConfigAdmin forgot to update FileInstall.
FileInstall only uses a single class from ConfigAdmin, but upgrading that dependency to the latest ConfigAdmin enables comments in *.config files.

This enables me to get rid of all the *.config.txt files in my project (that are used to document for users what options are available)

I have already summitted a PR on GitHub: https://github.com/apache/felix/pull/67
