Clarify warning on duplicate keys
In order to alert the user to any potential errors in the configuration files, we keep track of configuration entries that we have not accessed and print them out. These might include misspellings or otherwise malformed strings. To collect those unparsed configuration entries, we remove the ones that have been successfully parsed from our in-memory KeyFile. The remaining keys are the offending ones. Unfortunately, because KeyFile.remove_key() removes only one matching key, we might also be left with any duplicates that would otherwise be valid entries. So, if the entry misc.font is specified twice, we currently warn about an "unknown" key, the second misc.font entry. This could potentially be misleading to the user. Since it is too expensive to fix this issue in the code, make sure we warn instead about "unknown or duplicate" keys. This way we say the correct thing without incurring a big complexity cost.
