If qemu_find_file() doesn't find the BIOS it returns NULL; we were
passing that unchecked through to load_elf(), which assumes a non-NULL
pointer and may misbehave. In practice it fails with a weird message:

  $ qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -display none -kernel nonesuch
  Bad address
  qemu-system-ppc: could not load firmware '(null)'

Handle the failure case better:

  $ qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -display none -kernel nonesuch
  qemu-system-ppc: could not find firmware/kernel file 'nonesuch'
