Description:Updated to latest git master branch,

When I tried to start asterisk, it would fail and forcefully exit.
On previous version lack of these config files would just mean that module did no load.

For missing hep.conf:
{noformat}
Loading res_hep.so.

I've reproduced this issue by installing only res_hep.so and res_hep_rtcp.so, enabling autoload and deleting hep.conf (the minimum test case).

I updated the issue title since the issue is not just limited to configs being missing, any issue which causes a load_module to return an error when another module requires that one will result in a failed startup.

Change 8048 merged by George Joseph:
loader: Correct overly strict startup checks.
