* Support metadata XML directly in config
Also consider 'xml' as a key, in addition to 'url' and 'file'.
When provided, attempt to load this directly as a metadata XML string.
This is useful when working with dynamic configuration and external polling of metadata updates.

* Test loading XML from a fixed string
No preexisting test in this area
Adjust XML loader to only get global config in file mode - otherwise it is
unused, and it might pollute the test usage.
Test that an actully invalid config throws an exception, but that minimal valid
(albeit useless) XML is accepted.
