Fail gracefully on invalid YAML configuration

[lordievader]

Step 1: Provide a summary of your problem

Tmuxp does not fail gracefully on trying to load an invalid yaml configuration. You get a stack-trace which is not very helpful.

Step 2: Provide tmuxp details

• Python version: Python 3.6.5
• system PATH: /home/lordievader/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/bin:/home/lordievader/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1@global/bin:/home/lordievader/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/bin:/usr/lib/llvm/7/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/home/lordievader/.rvm/bin
• tmux version: tmux 2.7
• tmuxp version: tmuxp 1.5.1
• libtmux version: 0.8.1
• shell: zsh
• output of tmuxp freeze <SESSION_NAME>: "Session not found"

Step 3: Describe your environment

• Architecture: AMD64
• OS version: Gentoo

Step 4: Describe the problem:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a config like:

session_name: tutorial-paper
windows:
    - window_name: dev window
      layout: tiled
      shell_command_before:
          - cd ~/phd/surveys_and_tutorials
      panes:
          -echo first pane

Notice the lack of a space in the first pane command.
2. Try to load the session.
3. Get a lovely stack trace.

Observed Results:

When loading this configuration you get this stack trace:

    pconf = sconf['panes'][p_index] = {}
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment

Expected Results:

I expected the error to contain something about having an invalid YAML configuration.

There could be a more user-friendly warning as well.
