Fail loudly on set-but-unparseable env config values (closes #80) (#92)
Some checks failed
check / check (push) Has been cancelled

Defaults now apply only to unset or empty environment variables; a set-but-
unparseable value aborts startup with an error naming the key and the value.
envInt is gone, envBool parses with strconv.ParseBool, and PORT is bounded.
