/// This function parses configuration information stored in \c config_set
/// and configures the \c server by applying the configuration to it.
/// It provides the strong exception guarantee as long as the underlying
/// derived class implementations of \c DhcpConfigParser meet the assumption,
/// that is, it ensures that either configuration is fully applied or the
/// state of the server is intact.
///
/// If a syntax or semantics level error happens during the configuration
/// (such as malformed configuration or invalid configuration parameter),
/// this function throws an exception of class \c Dhcp6ConfigError.
/// If the given configuration requires resource allocation and it fails,
/// a corresponding standard exception will be thrown.
/// Other exceptions may also be thrown, depending on the implementation of
/// the underlying derived class of \c Dhcp6ConfigError.
/// In any case the strong guarantee is provided as described above except
/// in the very rare cases where the \c commit() method of a parser throws
/// an exception.  If that happens this function converts the exception
/// into a \c FatalError exception and rethrows it.  This exception is
/// expected to be caught at the highest level of the application to terminate
/// the program gracefully.
