Seems Hugo no longer throw an error if output format is invalid

I recall that Hugo will throw an error if output is invalid, which is useful for checking if the config is correct on the user side, such as errors caused by typos or forgetting to import modules.

For example.

// hugo.toml
outputs:
  home:
    - HTML
    - ABC

The ABC wasn’t defined anywhere.

With 113:

~/Downloads/hugo113 version && ~/Downloads/hugo113
hugo v0.113.0-085c1b3d614e23d218ebf9daad909deaa2390c9a+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2023-06-05T15:04:51Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
Total in 11 ms
Error: failed to create config from modules config: unknown output format "abc" for kind "home"

With 128, 137, 140.1:

~/Downloads/hugo128                               
Start building sites …
