Quote a string setting that YAML would read as a number (closes #229)

config set wrote every value as an unquoted YAML scalar, and config.Load
reads the file through untyped YAML, so an access key 00112233 loaded as
38043, a 32-digit secret as 1.2345678901234567e+31 and a hostname 007
as 7.

config set now looks the key up in config.Config by the fields' yaml
tags. A string setting is tagged !!str, which the encoder quotes
wherever YAML would read a number or a boolean. Other settings stay
unquoted, so compression_level 9 is still a number.

Judgement call: the type comes from reflection over config.Config.
Quoting every value YAML would change avoids that, but would also quote
odd numbers such as compression_level 03 and make them fail to load.
