add check_config instance method to workers

Add a method to check if config requirements are OK for a specific worker by
adding the `check_config` instance method. This method takes 2 arguments: the
config instance followed by the logger instance to log.

This method is right now used in the thread worker to display a warning in
the case it can't handle keep alive connections. This change is related to #979.
