[PATCH v4 05/10] builtin/maintenance: don't silently ignore invalid strategy

When parsing maintenance strategies we completely ignore the user-configured value in case it is unknown to us. This makes it basically undiscoverable to the user that scheduled maintenance is devolving into a no-op. Change this to instead die when seeing an unknown maintenance strategy. While at it, pull out the parsing logic into a separate function so that we can reuse it in a subsequent commit.
