[bugfix] #621: add weak type handing to mapstructure decode (#625)

* Drone sig (#623)

* accept weakly typed input on mapstructure decode i.e. .UnmarshalMap()

* add envparsing script to test for panics during environment variable parsing

* add envparsing.sh script to drone commands

* update drone signature

* compare expected with output

* update expected output of envparsing

* update expected output to correct value

* use viper's unmarshal function instead
There were problems with marshalling
string slices from viper into the st.config
struct with the other function. Now, we
can use viper's unmarshal function and pass
in the custom decoder config that we need
as a hook. This ensures that we marshal
string slices from viper into our config
struct correctly.
