Configuration File Loader

A utility that loads configuration files from specified file paths and returns the parsed configuration data.

• When given an absolute path to a JSON configuration file, it loads and returns the configuration with the file path @test
• When given a relative path to a configuration file, it resolves the path and loads the configuration @test
• When loading a JavaScript (.js) configuration file, it correctly loads and returns the exported configuration @test

Handle loading errors
