I've just updated libconfig from 1.8.2 to 1.8.3.

I test-built everything that depends on it, and everything builds
fine. The code change in libconfig is minimal, and shouldn't cause
any compatibility issues... but if you're concerned, you should build
and test-run your packages that depend on libconfig.

The list is here:

To build the new libconfig, grab the new source:

https://github.com/hyperrealm/libconfig/archive/v1.8.3/libconfig-1.8.3.tar.gz

...and run the existing libconfig.SlackBuild with VERSION=1.8.3 in the
environment.
