4e4694d872 bootconfig: Prohibit re-defining value on same key
Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an
array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite
the original value in the same config file.

This rejects the following value re-definition.

  key = value1
  ...
  key = value2

You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

a24d286f36 bootconfig: Reject subkey and value on same parent key
Reject if a value node is mixed with subkey node on same
parent key node.

A value node can not co-exist with subkey node under some key
node, e.g.

key = value
key.subkey = another-value

This is not be allowed because bootconfig API is not designed
to handle such case.
