Description

The goal is to make it easier to configure the backend vcld components and to provide a relatively easy mechanism to allow modules to implement a setup subroutine.

Here's the plan:
-add setup_vcld() subroutine to vcld which drives the setup mode
-add -setup switch to vcld which causes the setup_vcld() subroutine to be called
-setup_vcld() retrieves the list of modules from the database and checks if the module has implemented a setup() subroutine
-setup_vcld() calls setup() for each module which has implemented it and checks the return value, aborts if false
