MDL-55166 admin: Fix display of misleading debug warning on manage block

Blocks can declare has_config() as true without actually using the
default node in the admin tree. Typical use case is when the block
injects its settings to other parts of the admin tree and it assigns
null to its $setting node in its settings.php file.

As Janek L.B. correctly spotted, this led to false debugging message
on admin/blocks.php as the code interpreted it as missing settings.php
file.

The patch adds explicit file existence test for this rare case.
