Previously we simply ignored any not found error when loading the
containerd config. This created unintuitive behavior:
silently ignore the error.
ignore the error.
In either of these cases, it appears we would end up using a potentially
corrupted config, as it would contain any files that were merged into it
before the not found error was hit.
However, we can't just remove the check for !os.IsNotExist(err),
as we shouldn't throw an error when --config is not passed, but the
default config doesn't exist.
This change updates the logic to only attempt to load the config if
we know it exists, or the user passed --config.

Note: This is a change in behavior for config loading, but as far as I can tell the previous behavior could be dangerous and end up with an incomplete config. So I think it's worth fixing this, but looking for feedback. :)
