combo-layer: let user choose where properties get updated

When updating a property (at the moment, only 'last_revision'),
first check whether the user already added it to the main config.
If so, update there even if there is a local config.

This way, 'last_revision' can be shared between developers
as part of the repository while still configuring per-developer
repo paths outside of the git repository in a local config.

An example of a repository which is set up like that is tizen-distro,
with instructions for such a collaborative maintenance found here:
