Public bug reported:

It would be nice if Nova validated all syntax on startup. This could
solve a few problems:

* Problems with misconfiguration due to arguments in the wrong section (ex. [DEFAULT] vs. [database])
* Problems with misconfiguration due to incorrectly typed variable name (ex. rabbit_userid vs. rabbit-userid)

I'm sure there are other issues it would solve, but these are the first
which come to mind. When a configuration file isn't right, logs don't
always give an obvious response. My hope is any errors would be clearly
explained.
