Special notes for your reviewer:
I didn't add docs but could. Wasn't sure if it really mattered to call out that if you mistype or enter a completely invalid config into the yaml file that you will be presented with an error. This change since it was at the YAML config level goes for both loki and promtail.
Original bug report was just promtail but should be no reason we can't have this feature for both.
