config: allow global options in accounts.conf
Global options may be configured by placing them at the top of the accounts.conf file, before any account-specific sections. These can be overridden for an account by specifying them again in the account section. Changelog-added: Set global options in `accounts.conf` by placing them at the top of the file.
