[Bug]: k8sgpt serve panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

[shturec]

Checklist

• I've searched for similar issues and couldn't find anything matching
• I've included steps to reproduce the behavior

Affected Components

• K8sGPT (CLI)
• K8sGPT Operator

K8sGPT Version

0.3.37

Kubernetes Version

n/a

Host OS and its Version

Mac

Steps to reproduce

1. Add amazonbedrock as backend with k8sgpt auth
2. Run k8sgpt serve

Expected behaviour

1. Panic should not hide the actual error
2. Fail fast with descriptive error for missing --backend, -b flag with non-default (openai) backend configurations.
3. Document to avoid invalid flag-configuration combinations

Actual behaviour

k8sgpt serve
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Additional Information

Note that multiple calls to a nil reference along the k8sgpt serve scenaio exist.

Try for example:

1. Run k8sgpt serve -b amazonbedrock
2. Query with grpcurl -plaintext -d '{"explain": true, "namespace": "k8sgpt"}' localhost:8080 schema.v1.ServerService/Analyze (note the missing backend parameter in the query)

query output:

ERROR:
  Code: Unavailable
  Message: error reading from server: EOF

server output:

The problem is at pkg/server/analyze.go where the config instance is nil due to an error yielded by the previous statement.
Following the idiomatic error handling in go should solve the problem.
