If the configuration yaml is poorly indented or special values are not appropriately escaped Authelia attempts to load said configuration and fails.
This attempts to unmarshal the config into an empty interface to catch and warn on malformed yaml.
Using the example from issue https://github.com/authelia/authelia/issues/1053#issuecomment-634791662
```yaml

We would actually get a more meaningful error which helps pinpoint the issue:
`Error malformed yaml: line 23: did not find expected alphabetic or numeric character`
* [FEATURE] Config Validation
* check configuration for invalid keys on startup
* allow users to manually trigger all configuration validation on a file using a cmd
* setup all defaults in config template and run tests against it to prevent accidents
* use tests to check bad configuration values are caught
* use tests to check old configuration values are caught
* add tests for specific key errors
* resolve merge conflicts
* nolint prealloc for test
* [FEATURE] File Secret Loading
* add a validator for secrets
* run the secrets validator before the main config validator
* only allow a secret to be defined in one of: config, env, file env
* remove LF if found in file
* update configuration before main config validation
* fix unit tests
* implement secret testing
* refactor the secrets validator
* make check os agnostic
* update docs
* add warning when user attempts to use ENV instead of ENV file
* discourage ENV in docs
* update config template
* oxford comma
* apply suggestions from code review
* rename Validate to ValidateConfiguration
* add k8s example
* add deprecation notice in docs and warning
* style changes
* added support for listing multiple domains and multiple subjects
* updated documentation to show use of multiple domains and subjects
* updated config.template.yml to display multiple domains as a list
* updated config.template.yml to display multiple subjects as a list
* updated docs/configuration/access-control.md to display multiple domains as a list
* updated docs/configuration/access-control.md to display multiple subjects as a list
* removed redundant check that always returned true
* Commentary definition for `weak`
* [FEATURE][BREAKING] Allow users to sign in with email.
The users_filter purpose evolved with the introduction of username_attribute
but is reverted here to allow the most flexibility. users_filter is now the
actual filter used for searching the user and not a sub-filter based on the
username_attribute anymore.
* {input} placeholder has been introduced to later deprecate {0} which has been
kept for backward compatibility.
* {username_attribute} and {mail_attribute} are new placeholders used to back
reference other configuration options.
Fix#735
* [MISC] Introduce new placeholders for groups_filter too.
* [MISC] Update BREAKING.md to mention the change regarding users_filter.
* [MISC] Fix unit and integration tests.
* Log an error message in console when U2F is not supported.
* Apply suggestions from code review
* Update BREAKING.md

* [BUGFIX] Set username retrieved from authentication backend in session.
In some setups, binding is case insensitive but Authelia is case
sensitive and therefore need the actual username as stored in the
authentication backend in order for Authelia to work correctly.
Fixes#561.
* Use uid attribute as unique user identifier in suites.
* Fix the integration tests.
* Update config.template.yml
* Compute user filter based on username attribute and users_filter.
The filter provided in users_filter is now combined with a filter
based on the username attribute to perform the LDAP search query
finding a user object from the username.
* Fix LDAP based integration tests.
* Update `users_filter` reference examples
* [FEATURE] Support writing logs in a file.
* Add documentation about logs file path.
* Rename logs_level and logs_file_path into log_level and log_file_path.
* Update BREAKING.md
Fixes#338
