If accounts{} block is specified, authorization{} should not have
any user/password/token or users array defined.
The reason is that users parsed in accounts{} are associated with
their respective account but users parsed in authorization{} are
associated with the global account. If the same user name is
in both, and since internally the parsing of those 2 blocks is
completely random (even if layed out in the config in a specific
order), the outcome may be that a user is either associated with
an account or the default global account.
To minimize breaking changes, but still avoid this unexpected
outcome, the server will now detect if there are duplicate users
(or nkeys) inside authorization{} block itself, but also between
this block and accounts{}.
The check will also detect if accounts{} has any user/nkey, then
the authorization{} block should not have any user/password/token,
making this test similar to the check we had in authorization{}
block itself.
