Implements token substitution for special template config files. Some notes for reviewers:
- The "ENV." prefix means that the value should be looked up from the current environment.
- It seems like `${...}` is a more common delimiter than `#...#`, but this PR only focuses on working with `dh_installdebconf`'s behaviors, which opt for `#...#` instead. This work shouldn't be terribly difficult to refactor to work with either delimiter style in the future.
- This does not implement per-package values (e.g. `pkg.foo.CUSTOM_KEY`, `pkg.bar.CUSTOM_KEY`), as those are only set via the CLI for debhelpers normally and such inputs are not yet supported.
Closes #159
