scripts/get_maintainer.pl: Print proper error message for missing $file
If you pass scripts/get_maintainer.pl the name of a FIFO or other exciting object (/dev/stdin, for example), it would falsely print "file not found". Instead: stat the object rather than using -f so that we do not mind if the object is not a file; and print the errno value in the error message.
