merovingian: refuse to startup when properties are missing
dbfarms that we can't read .merovingian_properties from are either
messed up in terms of permissions, or created by a simple mkdir, such as
in bug #3398. Refuse starting up since this affects any other
operations on monetdbd (although it functions just fine), such as
shutdown via monetdbd stop ....

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0
Build Identifier:
The user is allowed to start monetdbd on a given dbfarm that may have not yet been initialized.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new directory
export TEMP_DB_FARM="/tmp/$(echo ${RANDOM})"
mkdir ${TEMP_DB_FARM}
Start monetdbd without initializing the new directory
monetdbd start ${TEMP_DB_FARM}
monetdbd will start without complaining about the fact that the dbfarm has not been initialized. The user is able to create/start/stop/... databases.
monetdb create sound
created database in maintenance mode: sound
monetdb start sound
starting database 'sound'... done
monetdb stop sound
stopping database 'sound'... done
monetdbd stop ${TEMP_DB_FARM}
unable to read properties from .: No such file or directory
monetdbd get all ${TEMP_DB_FARM}
unable to read properties from .: No such file or directory
Expected Results:
monetdbd should shamelessly refuse to start serving an uninitialized dbfarm
