Subject: [PATCH] config.json: Add select topics

While evaluating that a proposed hello-world exercise in #475 would
introduce Maybe into the track at the first exercise, I found myself
wondering what other exercises introduce Maybe. I decided to put this,
and select other topics, into the config.json file.

The topics selected are, largely, those that might affect a problem
ordering decision. They are topics that either require some effort to
grasp (so we should not put them too early) and/or are repetitive (so we
should not place them too close together).

* Maybe
* Either
* Lazy evaluation
* Define a data type
* Library reimplementation
* Refactoring
* Accumulator-strictness
* instance TC (where TC is any typeclass other than Eq or Show)
* IO Monad
  * Random
  * Mutable state

Closes #274.
