  @brief    Get number of sections in a dictionary

  @return   int Number of sections found in dictionary

  This function returns the number of sections found in a dictionary.

  The test to recognize sections is done on the string stored in the

  dictionary: a section name is given as "section" whereas a key is

  stored as "section:key", thus the test looks for entries that do not

  contain a colon.

  This clearly fails in the case a section name contains a colon, but

  this should simply be avoided.

  This function returns -1 in case of error.
