app: config: Add support for appending to the config string

In some cases, and specifically in the manifest.group-filter and
manifest.project-filter options, it is sometimes useful to be able to
append to a value instead of replacing it completely.

For example, assuming one wants to add to an existing group filter,
without this patch the user needs to do:

(assuming the group filter is currently +unstable,-optional, and the
user wants to add +extras).
> west config manifest.group-filter
> west config manifest.group-filter +unstable,-optional,+extras

With this patch instead:

> west config -a manifest.group-filter ,+extras
