Title: Throw an Exception if Configuration is not found

For now play fails silently when application.conf is not found (fallback to a default config).
This patch makes it throw an Exception.

The main problem it solves is configuration being ignored silently in Tests (using FakeApplication or TestServer) when the app does not live in "." (current sbt folder), which leads to unpredictable, hard to trace bugs.
