Description

The current configuration code is pretty messy, it would be great to streamline this and make it more generic, so it's easier to define and document configuration options.

Research direction
Start by reading the current config.js file in the Karma repository (likely in lib/config.js). Understand the existing configuration structure and identify areas of messiness. Look for any prior discussions or PRs about configuration simplification. Then propose a more generic and streamlined approach, ensuring backward compatibility. Document your proposed changes clearly.
