[wallet] loadwallet shouldn't create new wallets.

A bug in the initial implementation of loadwallet meant that if the
arguement was a directory that didn't contain a wallet.dat file, a new
wallet would be created in that directory. Fix that so that if a
directory is passed in, it must contain a wallet.dat file.

Bug reported by promag (João Barbosa).
