Abort startup on a config file pixa cannot read (closes #176)
check / check (push) Failing after 4s

Of the places pixa looks for its config file on its own, it passed over
any place where os.Stat failed, so a file in a directory pixa may not
enter was skipped without a word and pixa started on a later file or on
the environment and defaults. Now only a path that does not exist, or
that runs through a file (such as under a HOME of /dev/null), is passed
over; any other error aborts startup naming the file, as a file that
does not parse already did. README.md says so where it gives the search
order. A config.yml that links to itself tests this as root too.
