Better error messages when reading certificate files

I've spent some time trying to make claws-mail use a client certificate when
sending messages via SMTP. This failed, but the network protocol window did not
contain any related error messages, and I missed an error message on the
console because claws-mail was started via desktop menu.

The attached patch improves the situation a bit, I think.

(Btw, the actual problem was apparently some kind of incompatibility between my
openssl-generated cert+key and gnutls. Some client-cert-howto in the
documentation might be really helpful.)
