Merge #11829: Test datadir specified in conf file exists

529b866 Test datadir in conf file exists (MeshCollider)

Pull request description:

  Provoked by Nick ODell's discovery here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/64189/when-running-bitcoind-i-keep-getting-boostfilesystemspace-operation-not-p/64210#64210

  If a custom data directory is specified using `-datadir` argument, its existence is checked before the conf file is loaded. But if the conf file then specifies a different non-existent `datadir`, that isn't tested, and results in esoteric errors like:

      EXCEPTION: N5boost10filesystem16filesystem_errorE
      boost::filesystem::space: Operation not permitted

  This just adds a check for the datadir existence at the end of `ReadConfigFile()`
