Problem/Motivation

Currently \Drupal\Core\Config\StorageInterface::read() returns FALSE when the configuration object does not exist.

Proposed resolution

Loading entities return NULL when the entity does not exist. Change \Drupal\Core\Config\StorageInterface::read() to match.

Remaining tasks

Write patch and fix tests

User interface changes

None

API changes

Change return type of \Drupal\Core\Config\StorageInterface::read()

I think CachedStorage is decoupled from this.
Something like this would be enough?

That would be array|null then?

Yes, that's an easy fix. I'm getting some errors during the tests though. I'm working on some updates.
