configuration.yml.example is broken (Bug #1144)

Description
I ran into an issue where I could not get mail configuration to work, even though the file was there. After much reading of Redmine bug reports, I eventually found the culprit. There are 2 sections marked 'production' in the YAML file, and the second one, which is empty, overwrites the first. I found this issue with 2.7.3, the same issue does not occur with 2.6.0, and I was using an identical configuration.yml file.
Suggested fix is to remove the empty production: section

If you look closely, you will notice that on the start of the file, the production is commented. This might indeed a bit confusing but we have only one actually defined production environment in this file.
To mitigate this, I'd propose to remove the email examples and to point users to Configuration File and especially Email Delivery. This would leave the default section fully documented with all available options. And would still allow people to override specific options for some environments.

hi Holger
Re-reading I realize that you are correct, and I had realised this after I posted it. I guess the confusing thing for me was that the same configuration used to work, and it was only after googling error messages that I discovered the cause of the apparently missing email configuration. Your suggestion does seem sensible.
Cheers, and thanks for the feedback :)

A default configuration.yml in this format is probably a good idea.
