``Out-of-place setting encountered in top level configuration-section '%s' : '%s'``

**Description:**

*Used when we detect a setting in the top level of a toml configuration that shouldn't be there.*




**Additional details:**

This error was raised when we encountered an unexpected value type in a toml
configuration between pylint 2.12 and pylint 2.14 (before the argparse refactor).
