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.
