[Nfd-dev] config file process section

[Alex Afanasyev]

I would agree here with Junxiao.  We already made a decision before to treat unknown section as an error, and we should keep the consistency in implementation.

For now, we can add a dummy processor for generic section. Actually, word 'general', 'generic', or something else would be better than 'process'
