The consolidation of configuration parsing broke behaviour with
--prefix, where the prefix bled into the modules cache. Accept a
prefix which, when non-NULL, is prepended to the path when looking for
configuration files but only the original directory is added to the
modules cache.
This has no effect on the codegen of gconv_conf since it passes NULL.
