[BUG] docker compose config --no-interpolate breaks when using : in variables and short-form volumes

[Raphtor]

Description

Example compose.yml

services:
  test:
    image: ubuntu:latest
    volumes:
      - ./${DIRECTORY:?error}/:/home/data

Here, I am using the interpolation that throws an error if DIRECTORY is empty (see docs)
When running docker compose config --no-interpolate, I would expect to see:

name: test
networks:
  default:
    name: test_default
services:
  test:
    image: ubuntu:latest
    networks:
      default: null
    volumes:
      - bind:
          create_host_path: true
        source: /home/user/test/${DIRECTORY:?error}
        target: /home/data
        type: bind

What I actually get:

name: test
networks:
  default:
    name: test_default
services:
  test:
    image: ubuntu:latest
    networks:
      default: null
    volumes:
      - bind:
          create_host_path: true
        source: /home/user/test/${DIRECTORY
        target: ?error}
        type: bind

There must be a naive splitting of the volume string by :, as it doesn't happen when using the required value that allows empty values, e.g
./${DIRECTORY?error}/:/home/data
produces the correct output

volumes:
      - bind:
          create_host_path: true
        source: /home/user/test/${DIRECTORY?error}
        target: /home/data
        type: bind

Steps To Reproduce

1. Use the above compose file
2. Run docker compose config --no-interpolate

There must be a naive splitting of the volume string by :

indeed, as variable syntax has many subtle rules, it makes it hard to split string without actual interpolation. Also volume could be set by a single variable to both declare source and destination, which would prevent expanding to "long syntax":

volumes:
   - ${STRING}
