2nd step of #2120.

The changes to config format proposed in #2121 would make the pre-existing configs of users obsolete, forcing the users to rewrite them. To avoid this hassle a transformer will be implemented that will transform the old format to the newer one.

Possible solution:
Parse/read the file with YAML module -> Change the fields appropriately and create a new YAML structure -> Structure gets stored in class proposed by #2121 (Not part of this issue).

We had a short discussion and it would likely be possible to generate new configs which would resolve the 3rd step of #2120.

As of now the structure of the new config file has not been confirmed (draft in #2129).
