Getting access to config in actions

[Marco Ceppi]

Hook config is only setable by operators, not charms. If the-crawldb-uri
isn't a config option specified in config.yaml and a value set by running
`juju set` then the behavior you described is expected.

I'd recommend using the kv module in charm-helpers to persist data between
hooks.
