util/lint: Give better warning for help spacing issue
Because the help block uses significant whitespace to determine whether or not text is inside the help block, a mixture of spaces and tabs confuses the parser. If there's an unrecognized line, and the previous line was inside a help block, it's likely that this line is too. Additionally, this was found with a line that started ' configuration', and threw a perl warning about an uninitialized value because the parser thought this was the start of a new config line, but couldn't find the symbol. Now we make sure that config statements have whitespace after the 'config' statement.
