config: test whether an item is stored in the database by name
QUERY_STRING was only used in two places, both to test whether a variable should be stored in (or retrieved from) the database. Since other configuration variables might be stored in the database in the future, consolidate that test into a single function. We also document that these configuration options should not be placed in the config file.
