Make config set create a list for an index under a missing key (closes #308)

`config set age_recipients.0 age1...` on a file without `age_recipients`
wrote a map keyed `0`, after which no command could load the config. A
missing key is now created as a list when the next path element is a
number.

Before writing, `config set` checks the result with the config loader,
refusing only a failure the change brings in: a config that loaded must
still load; one that does not (still being filled in, or with a `${...}`
reference that cannot be filled in here) is checked on the changed
setting alone. The new `config.Parse`, split out of `config.Load`,
decodes config data, filling in references, without validating.

Rule suppressed: gosec G304 where `config.Load` and the new tests read a
file.

Model: opus-5-5
