If the new configuration.Configuration.load() method is given a configuration file argument which is a non-existent file, it will silently fall back to loading mm_cfg.py.
I think it should remember whether a filename argument is passed and complain if the passed file doesn't exist.

BTW, should we all move to new config sheme ? Then, should we make
some upgrade script in Mailman/versions.py ?
So one question is whether we should continue to support mm_cfg.py
for Mailman 2.2. Originally I thought we should for backward
compatibility. Tokio, are you suggesting that we move a MM2.1
mm_cfg.py to etc/mailman.cfg during the upgrade?
If we do that, then we can just eradicate mm_cfg.py altogether.
Otherwise, if we decide to keep mm_cfg.py for backward compatibility,
I do think we ought to complain if a file is passed in that doesn't
exist. I wasn't sure we should do the complaining in .load(), but
since those are only every called from bin scripts, I think that's
probably fine.
