files: do not silently ignore an invalid backup directory, but die

It would be horrible if the user expects to find numbered backups
of all the files that were changed but they are NOT there because
the config file contains a typo or the relevant directory was moved
or renamed or something.  So... if the specified backup directory
is not usable, nano should complain and simply not start up.
