 * Configure hicn-light by reading a configuration file line-by-line and

 * The configuration file is a set of lines, just like used in hicnLightControl.
 * You need to have "add listener" lines in the file to receive connections. No
 * default listeners are configured.
 *
 * This function reads the file line by line, skipping '#' and blank lines, and
 * will stop on the first error. Lines already processed will not be un-done.

 * @param[in] forwarder An allocated forwarder_t
 * @param[in] filename The path to the configuration file
 *
 * @retval true The entire files was processed without error.
 * @retval false There was an error in the file.

 * @code
