Make plugin loading failure fatal

Browse Source 
If a plugin was explicitly specified, falling back to the default
silently is bad; a manager component like gnome-session can
do a better job of handling this scenario.

An example we've hit in gnome-shell is where SpiderMonkey changes
without gjs being rebuilt, and loading the plugin fails due to
unresolved symbols.

But there are obviously others, like the file being missing or
corrupt.
