config: warn on inaccessible files

Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)"
to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's
not, then we silently ignore it.

For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the
file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a
configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read
the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the
user know.
