config: Do not allow runtimes to ignore properties defined by the spec

Otherwise a runtime could silently ignore a property it didn't want to implement, which would be confusing for runtime callers [1]. This closes a potential loophole in the restriction from 766abd6 (runtime.md: Require 'create' to fail if config.json asks for the impossible, 2016-09-08, opencontainers#559).
