gvfs: allow overriding core.gvfs

We found a user who had set "core.gvfs = false" in their global
config. This should not have been necessary, but it also should not
have caused a problem. However, it did.

The reason is that gvfs_load_config_value() is called from config.c
when reading config key/value pairs from all the config files. The
local config should override the global config, and this is done by
config.c reading the global config first then reading the local
config. However, our logic only allowed writing the core_gvfs
variable once.

Put the guards against multiple assignments of core_gvfs into
gvfs_config_is_set() instead, because that will fix the problem
_and_ keep multiple calls to gvfs_config_is_set() from slowing down.
