Summary

0000837: improve validation of INI style config files (switches.conf, violations.conf, pf.conf, etc.)

Description

The other day, I omitted a section header ([...]) in violations.conf and it resulted in packetfence spitting scary errors on startup.

It looks like every time an entry is doubled (ex: uplink=.. then uplink=.. in the same section since I omitted a header) the resulting structure inside packetfence is an array reference causing all sorts of problems. We should try to detect that and give a better error message.
