docs: Update the component's configuration.
  
          Use the :py:meth:`get_config` method to get a copy of the
          component's configuration, update that copy then call
          :py:meth:`set_config` to update the component. This enables
          the configuration to be changed in a threadsafe manner while
          the component is running, and allows several values to be
          changed at once.
  
          :param ConfigParent config: New configuration.
