[keycloak-dev] keycloak.json in directory "config" in quickstarts

[Stian Thorgersen]

I agree - we can just change the check for the profile to make sure
keycloak.json is in WEB-INF rather than config.

I'm sure there are loads of usability improvements we can do around the
quickstarts, but now is not the right time. So create a JIRA for it.
