Previously, if the user specified one or more soundfonts via commandline AND all those soundfonts failed to load, fluidsynth silently fell back to loading the default-soundfont. This hides errors and may cause a lot confusion to users (like myself).

This PR now treats failed soundfont loadings fatal and makes fluidsynth executable exit with failure. It also hints the user that the default-soundfont is now being loaded, which wasn't always the case before either.

Addresses #1804
