Reject config with unknown directives before committing to it (#1897)
Ideally, we want to reject configurations with unknown directives before applying any configuration changes that correspond to known directives, but current apply-as-you-parse architecture makes that impractical. Pending smooth reconfiguration refactoring will make that possible, but we can make a step towards that ideal future now. Rejecting bad configurations before calling configDoConfigure() reduces the set of configuration errors that Squid can detect in one execution (because configDoConfigure() error-checking code is not reached), but that small reduction is a lesser evil compared to running configDoConfigure() with a clearly broken config, especially when we are going to kill Squid anyway. While many legacy parse_foo() functions do apply significant changes before configDoConfigure(), we cannot easily prevent that (for now). We can easily prevent configDoConfigure().
