cli: Be more helpful when .notmuch-config does not exist
Previously, if the user ran any subcommand that required a configuration (e.g., notmuch new) but didn't have a configuration, notmuch would give the rather un-friendly and un-actionable message Error reading configuration file .notmuch-config: No such file or directory Since this condition is expected for new users, this patch adds specific handling for the file-not-found case to give a message that is friendly and actionable.
