Description

When the user makes a syntax error in a quick link definition, such as:

{ "linKKK_name": "namenode_ui", "visible": true }

the filter will be misinterpreted as an accept-all filter, due to the fact that the parser would expect a proper "link_name" tag to interpret it as a link name filter. This would lead to unexpected and difficult to debug behaviour.

To prevent this, quick link profile evaluation should throw an exception whenever it finds unknown tags in a filter definition
