Re: squid 3 config changes

Detect and suggest seems most proper, or actually

* write a small "lint" type tool for squid configurations which keeps
knowledge about old directives and also common errors.

* When encountering a syntax error in squid.conf, abort with a message
to recommend using the "lint" tool to check and verify the
configuration.
