Bug Description
It would be nice if Nova validated all syntax on startup. This could solve a few problems:
* Problems with misconfiguration due to arguments in the wrong section (ex. [DEFAULT] vs. [database])
* Problems with misconfiguration due to incorrectly typed variable name (ex. rabbit_userid vs. rabbit-userid)
I'm sure there are other issues it would solve, but these are the first which come to mind. When a configuration file isn't right, logs don't always give an obvious response. My hope is any errors would be clearly explained.

We use oslo.config for configuration files, so adding oslo. I think there is already BP/bug open for this somewhere not sure where though.
