Title: ENG-7185: Improve deployment file processing error reporting:

- Replace meaningless -1 return value with actual error message and
fixup clients
- Capture all exceptional conditions generated by deployment file handling
and turn them into errors
- Get rid of awkward crashOnValidation pattern for path checking and let
the caller make the right decision instead
