Cleanup config file loader (#208)

* fix config file loader

* prune nonetype values from config dict

fixes default values not initialising properly

* Utils: Shrink None removal function

It is more concise to use a list and dict collection if necessary
rather than iterating through and checking each value. Tested and
works with Tabby's cases.
