Description
### Issue Description
FileMatcher will catch IO related exceptions **but** continue the build down a different code path. This led to an incredibly confusing experience when Microsoft.IO.Redist couldn't be found while trying to expand a glob for $(Project).*.props early in the build.
We should probably check for special cases like FileNotFound errors on assemblies.
### Steps to Reproduce
Remove Microsoft.IO.Redist from MSBuild.exe's directory, attempt to build any project.
