xmlhandler "read" doesn't return error when file doesn't exist #389

On Ubuntu, if path is a directory, I do receive an error.
If it is a file it returns 0.
If it point to nothing (i.e. the file doesn't exists) it returns 0.
This is weird and thus I have no clue if the file is read correctly.

I didn't test on other platform.
The code involved for this test is on JamomaPureData repo but something similar appear in JamomaMax code.
see : https://github.com/jamoma/JamomaPureData/blob/master/library/source/JamomaForPd.cpp#L130

AFAIK, this might be due to libxml xmlNewTextReaderFilename method that doesn't return an error code when the file doesn't exist. So this is a bug of libxml2. But I think we can find a workaround.
