Description
When trying to load a non-existent savegame using the keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+0/9), a dialog is shown telling the user the savegame does not exists, and then the debugger opens with an error (showing the same error string as in the error dialog).
Other engines (such as scumm) also show the error dialog but do not break into the debugger and allow the user to continue playing.
Tested with: Trunk and 1.0, running Kyrandia 2 and 3

Updated the patch and added second part to always return Common::kReadingFailed when the savegame file cannot be opened.
In case another kind of error is returned, error() is called as before.

Added a patch that handles recovering from a failed savegame load.
This is only the first step and the actual loading functions need to be updated to always return the same error code when the file opening fails, so that we can continue only in that case (and error out when we get an error in the middle of loading and end up with an undefined engine state).
