#17028: silently ignore a bad --defaults-torrc

--------------------+---------------------
 The nightly Debian packages for wheezy were broken because they were
 missing `/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc`. The issue was not
 easy to diagnose because Tor currently silently ignore a `--defaults-
 torrc` pointing to a non-existing file.

 At least a warning would be good, but I think it would be even better to
 bail out unless `--ignore-missing-torrc` is specified.
