new() should fail when config file(s) not found

[mtmail]

It's possible to call

my $GAF = Geo::Address::Formatter->new( conf_path => '/tmp/does-not-exist/' );

which leads to an error message

No such file or directory at [...]/YAML/XS.pm line 48.

and an error for each

my $lines = $GAF->format_address($rh_address, {abbreviate => 1}); Use of uninitialized value $template_text in hash element at [...]/Geo/Address/Formatter.pm line 208.

I would argue an invalid path to new() should lead to a fatal error so the script can't continue.
