util: disallow setting conf in bitcoin.conf

Help from `bitcoind -h` states that conf can only be used from the commandline.
However, if conf is set in a bitcoin.conf file, it is ignored but there is no error.

Show an error to user if conf is set in a .conf file and prompt them to use
`includeconf` if they wish to specify additional config files.

Adds `IsConfSupported` function to allow for easily adding conf options
to disallow or throw warnings for.
