The development config directory is read when running hugo

[jmooring]

Problem exists in v0.112.0, v0.112.1, v0.112.2.

config/
├── _default/
│   └── config.toml
└── development/
    └── module.toml  <-- BUG: this is read when running `hugo`

Minimal example:

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-forum-topic-44506 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-forum-topic-44506
cd hugo-forum-topic-44506
hugo

Error: failed to load modules: module "foo" not found

Then run:

hugo -e production

No problems.

This could expose sensitive/internal content.

config/development/module.toml

[[mounts]]
source = 'content'
target = 'content'

[[mounts]]
source = 'hidden'
target = 'content'

I can replicate this on v0.112.2 as well but my development config is called testing:

❯ tree config/
config/
├── testing
│   └── config.yaml <-- this file is being loaded
└── development
    └── config.yaml

3 directories, 2 files

In config/testing/config.yaml I set the baseurl to be something different and its being updated:

❯ hugo config | egrep '(envi|baseurl)'
baseurl = 'https://testground.example.com'
environment = 'production'

vs

❯ hugo config -e production | egrep '(envi|baseurl)'
baseurl = 'https://example.com'
environment = 'production'

I'm running OSX locally but discovered the bug in Netlify's build env.
