fix(catalog): analyzer-valid testData and explicit New() error return

The plugin catalog analyzer failed v1.0.28 with "invalid handler
type: <nil>" (#151). Two defects combined.

The analyzer feeds .traefik.yml testData to New() verbatim. The header
values used quadruple braces on a false premise: no configuration path
collapses them. Template validation rejected them, so New() failed. The
testData now carries plain, valid templates.

New() also returned failures through a multi-value tail call
(return NewWithContext(...)). Yaegi v0.16.1 zeroes both results of that
statement on the error path. The analyzer therefore saw (nil, nil) and
reported the opaque handler-type message instead of the real validation
error. New() now splits the return explicitly. Construction failures
surface as real error messages under yaegi and in Traefik logs.

The regression tests pin both fixes. README and CONFIGURATION.md now
give correct escaping guidance: plain double braces everywhere; file
provider users escape with a raw string. Quadruple braces do not work
anywhere.

Fixes #151.
