Murfey validates ALL MachineConfigs in the MachineConfig file

Start in murfey/util/config.py, following get_machine_config() into from_file(), then trace how the instrument of interest is selected during murfey.server --feedback startup. Check how mixed MachineConfig entries are loaded and validated. Done means an irrelevant config with the older key format no longer prevents the selected instrument's server from starting.

This means that multiple versions which have changed MachineConfig behaviour cannot coexist in the same file.

It might be worth modifying the function so that it only validates the MachineConfig relevant to the instrument of interest.

The current error:

• Updated the configs of one of our servers to reflect the new key format used in the latest Murfey release, but left the other ones untouched
• Noticed that Murfey server failed to start, so tried starting it manually while SSH'ed to one of our storage servers
• Got the following error message:
