Wflow.jl consider using Configurations.jl for Config handling

In https://github.com/Deltares/Ribasim.jl/pull/66 @evetion improved the TOML config handling, which includes some validation. It is worth considersing using a similar approach in Wflow. This could simplify code and catch user errors earlier.

Currently we create our own struct, and overload a bunch of functions to have things like config.option work:

That could be turned into something like this:
