Maybe I'll implement a warning for all unrecognised config options, as it seems that the upstream NRPE server invents lots of new options.

Alternativly we may want to use an other configuration file, something like /etc/nagios/go-nrpe.conf, which contains a copy of the valid options from the /etc/nagios.nrpe.conf. But then, even the /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/*conf may contain invalid/unknown options.

So, I'll go for the first option, just complain at startup and then continue running.

@sf, Please test and provide feedback. If it keeps crashing, use Go 1.16 to build the binary.
