Better error message when input file does not exist
Author: BramVanroy
State: closed

In the following scenario, when `data_files` is an empty list, the stack trace and error message could be improved. This can probably be solved by checking for each file whether it actually exists and/or whether the argument is not false-y.

```python
dataset = load_dataset("text", data_files=[])
```

Example error trace.
