Configuration file handler for managing 'config.txt'.
This class provides an interface to read, modify, save, and reload
Raspbian's configuration file `config.txt`. It includes functionalities
to manipulate specific parameters within the configuration and supports
managing dtoverlay and dtparam entries. The primary aim of this class
is to abstract file operations and make modifications user-friendly.
Attributes:
_config_txt_path (str): The path to the configuration file `config.txt`.
_config_txt_lines (list[str]): Contains all lines of the configuration
file as a list of strings, where each string represents a line.

The value or list of values to match the configuration variable
against.

Retrieves all name-value pairs from the configuration text lines.
This method parses the configuration text lines to extract all name-value
