fail vs warn

Currently, you can only throw on failure, but you can't get a warning instead. failMissing and warnMissing work on different provider types.

Is this intentional? I would like to remind my users to create a config file for the current environment, not crash the app…

every provider supports the same set of functionalities. You can set a provider type to required, disabled, optional, or warn.

see doc here: https://github.com/electrode-io/electrode-confippet/blob/master/compose.md#confippetcomposeconfig

If you want a warning if the file for a provider is missing, you can set its type to warn.
