Fail early if configuration module can not initialize properly

In the case that the config module cannot load the driver for libconfig
or yaml, currently, there might be a cascade of errors that are
difficult for users to understand. For instance (partially redacted for
clarity):

    [CONFIG] Error calling dlopen(libparams_libconfig.so): libparams_libconfig.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    [CONFIG] config module "libconfig" couldn't be loaded
    [CONFIG] config_get, section log_config skipped, config module not properly initialized
    [LOG] init aborted, configuration couldn't be performed
    [CONFIG] config_get, section (null) skipped, config module not properly initialized
    [CONFIG] /home/francesco/openairinterface5g/common/config/config_userapi.c 68 nfapi has no processed integer availablle
    [CONFIG] config_get, section (null) skipped, config module not properly initialized

    Assertion (get_softmodem_params()->default_pdu_session_id == -1) failed!
    In get_common_options() /home/francesco/openairinterface5g/executables/softmodem-common.c:161
    Use uicc0.pdu_sessions.[0].id to change the requested PDU session ID (is 0)

Here, the error is the missing shared object, but a user is more likely
to look at the last error instead of the first.

This commit addresses it by checking early for
CONFIG_ISFLAGSET(CONFIG_ABORT), and stopping if it is set. Additionally
changes include making functions static, removing late
CONFIG_ISFLAGSET() checks, and the CONFIG_ISFLAGSET() in
load_configmodule(), because at that time "uniqCfg" is not set yet and
thus does not do anything (this is likely a regression of an earlier
cleanup).

  global")
