[JENKINS-61012] GitLab Group Scan Incorrectly Reports Missing Jenkinsfile as a Directory

The Scan GitLab Group Log reports the following when the project does not have a Jenkinsfile.

```
Checking project Test
Proposing Test

Unable to detect if it is a mirror or not still fetching MRs anyway...

Checking branches..

Checking branch master
‘Jenkinsfile’ found but is a directory not a file
Does not meet criteria

```

The message, "Jenkinsfile found but is a directory not a file", is inaccurate because there is not a directory named Jenkinsfile.

I'd like to see this changed so that it more clearly states that a Jenkinsfile was not found.
