lightningd: Config file /.lightning/config line 16: clnrest-port=3001: unknown option

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

Running 6.8.0-45-generic #45~22.04.1-Ubuntu

After upgraded from 24.05 to 24.08, then 24.08.1 using:
~/Downloads$ sudo tar -xvf clightning-v24.08rc3-Ubuntu-22.04.tar.xz -C /usr/local --strip-components=2

I can't get cln to start anymore:

user@workstation:~$ lightningd
lightningd: Config file /home/user/.lightning/config line 16: clnrest-port=3001: unknown option

Looking at the log I'm thinking this looks relevant:

cln-log-2024-09-29T09:53:20.036Z INFO    plugin-clnrest: Killing plugin: disabled itself: No module named 'gevent'
cln-log-2024-09-29T09:53:20.051Z INFO    plugin-wss-proxy: Killing plugin: disabled itself: No module named 'websockets'

Sounds like the clnrest plugin is crashing due to a missing dependency. Please install gevent and try again. CLI options that are consumed by plugins are only available if the plugin has completed the startup dance.

@TheMonsterz Until issue 7665 is resolved, you can manually follow the Python plugins installation instructions for them to work.

• For clnrest plugin dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python3-json5 python3-flask python3-gunicorn
pip3 install --user flask-cors flask-restx pyln-client flask-socketio gevent gevent-websocket

• For wss-proxy plugin dependencies:

pip3 install --user pyln-client websockets
