BUG/MINOR: config: silence .notice/.warning/.alert in discovery mode

When first pre-parsing the config to detect the presence or absence of
the master mode, we must not emit messages because they are not supposed
to be visible at this point, otherwise they appear twice each. The
pre-parsing, also called discovery mode, is only for internal use,
thus it should remain silent.

This should be backported to 3.1 where this mode was introduced.
