Packager should fail gracefully if it can't find config.xml #193

Current output: [INFO] Populating application source [INFO] Parsing config.xml [ERROR] Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'C:\Users\aUser\RippleSites\Boxes\src\config.xml'

Cause: if the config.xml is not at the root of the .zip file, the error message is extremely hard to diagnose. The typical scenario is that a dev creates the .zip file of a directory, vs the contents of the directory. A simple check for the existence of the config.xml file should precede trying to open it.

Expected behaviour:

  1. A valid config.xml in root of .zip - no change
  2. An invalid config.xmll in root of .zip - no change
  3. A valid .zip without a file named config.xml at the root will fail gracefully
