Description
Treat an empty CONFIG_FILE as initial state instead of failing JSON parse, so provisioning can proceed and credentials can be saved. Ref: fosrl/pangolin#2812
How to test?
Having an empty json file shouldnt throw a unmarshal error since the file is empty it could be a user emptied it or scaffold an empty file to mount to a container.
