Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Allow [moc], [canisters], [build], [lint] in mops publish

These sections are documented in mops.toml reference and used for
local development workflows (check/build/test/lint). They were
incorrectly rejected by `mops publish` with "Unknown config section",
forcing publishers to strip them before each publish.

Fixes #512

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Drop unknown-section/key/requirement guards from mops
 publish
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

These three publish-only allowlists drifted from the docs/types and
were the only place in the CLI that complained about unknown keys.
Backend validateConfig.mo still enforces the real schema (unknown
requirements, length caps, dependency rules, "not supported yet"
fields), so removing the CLI guards loses no real protection.

The [requirements] guard was also already broken — it used `return`
inside a forEach, which neither stops iteration nor exits the
process, so it only printed a red message and continued.

-- Fix `mops publish` rejecting `[moc]`, `[canisters]`, `[build]`, and `[lint]` sections in `mops.toml` (#512)
+- `mops publish` no longer rejects unknown `mops.toml` sections, `package.*` keys, or `requirements.*` entries — these typo guards were the only place in the CLI that complained about unknown keys, drifted from the docs/types, and blocked publish on harmless local-only config like `[moc]`, `[canisters]`, `[build]`, and `[lint]` (#512)
