sslutil: check for missing certificate and key files (issue5598)
Currently, sslutil._hostsettings() performs validation that web.cacerts
exists. However, client certificates are passed in to the function
and not all callers may validate them. This includes
httpconnection.readauthforuri(), which loads the [auth] section.
If a missing file is specified, the ssl module will raise a generic
IOException. And, it doesn't even give us the courtesy of telling
us which file is missing! Mercurial then prints a generic
"abort: No such file or directory" (or similar) error, leaving users
to scratch their head as to what file is missing.
This commit introduces explicit validation of all paths passed as
arguments to wrapsocket() and wrapserversocket(). Any missing file
is alerted about explicitly.
We should probably catch missing files earlier - as part of loading
the [auth] section. However, I think the sslutil functions should
check for file presence regardless of what callers do because that's
the only way to be sure that missing files are always detected.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
