config: Fix vectorparam command line parsing

Parsing vectorparams from the command was slightly broken
in that it wouldn't accept the input that the help message
provided to the user and it didn't do the conversion
on the second code path used to convert the string input
to the actual internal representation.  This patch fixes these bugs.
