Using undefined variable as a config entry does not generate an error

Description

When using an undefined variable for reading config values, an "undefined variable error" is not generated. Instead, nil is returned.

Steps To Reproduce

Run this line:
getnumber (configfile >> "CfgAmmo" >> _projectileClass >> "airFriction");

As _projectileClass is an undefined variable, an "undefined variable" error is expected, but it is missing.

Additional Information

Fixing this would make finding script errors much easier.
