Fix reloading with empty config

When loading an empty configuration file, Alacritty only prints an info
message and then proceeds to load the default config. However when
reloading the configuration file it would throw a hard error.

This has been fixed and a hard error is now only thrown when an error is
returned during reload which isn't the empty file error.
