## Changes
Before this change, any error in a subtree would cause the entire
subtree to be dropped from the output.
This is not ideal when debugging, so instead we drop only the values
that cannot be normalized. Note that this doesn't change behavior if the
caller is properly checking the returned diagnostics for errors.
Note: this includes a change to use `dyn.InvalidValue` as opposed to
`dyn.NilValue` when returning errors.
## Tests
Added unit tests for the case where nested struct, map, or slice
elements contain an error.
## Changes
Not doing this means that the output struct is not a true representation
of the `dyn.Value` and unrepresentable state (e.g. unexported fields)
can be carried over across `convert.ToTyped` calls.
## Tests
Unit tests.
## Changes
This was an issue in cases where the typed structure contains a non-nil
pointer to an empty struct. After conversion to a `dyn.Value` and back
to the typed structure, the pointer became nil.
## Tests
Unit tests.
## Changes
In the dynamic configuration, the nil value (dyn.NilValue) denotes a
value that should not be serialized, ie a value being nil is the same as
it not existing in the first place.
This is not true for zero values in maps and slices. This PR fixes the
conversion from typed values to dyn.Value, to treat zero values in maps
and slices as zero and not nil.
## Tests
Unit tests
## Changes
The name "dynamic value", or "dyn" for short, is more descriptive than
the opaque "config". Also, it conveniently does not alias with other
packages in the repository, or (popular ones) elsewhere.
