Title: (#20677 Raise error on missing path for auth stanza)

This patch raises a ConfigurationError when the user has specified an
allow/allow_ip directive without a preceding path directive.
This is, presumably, a bit more user friendly than having a NilClass
exception thrown when you forget to specify the path directive in your
auth.conf
