Description
configor doesn't properly support reading lists of config structs from environment and, apart from that, seems to be dead anyway. Let's migrate to koanf instead. Most important thing is to maintain backwards compatibility with all existing config variables (in YAML and from env.).

Research direction
Start in config/config.go around line 732 and inspect how configor reads YAML and environment variables, especially lists of config structs. Compare the existing configuration variable names with koanf's loading behavior. Done means the migration preserves backwards compatibility for all existing YAML and environment configuration variables.
