Description
Feature Request
As a System Administrator I would like Rafiki to validate critical values like
ILP_ADDRESSduring startup so that I can get early feedback about problems in configuration.
We recently had an issue troubleshooting a scenario where we had a mis-configured ILP_ADDRESS (invalid prefix). Rafiki starts up with no problem and the error only makes itself known when open payments are triggered.
If Rafiki validated the ILP address according to the spec and refused to start up, then it would have saved us some time in troubleshooting.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating Rafiki's startup configuration handling for ILP_ADDRESS and compare its validation with the linked ILP address specification. Done means Rafiki rejects an invalid ILP_ADDRESS during startup and accepts valid configuration.
