Description
If we know a file must be an argument, error during option processing if it's not a readable file. We have this with OP_FROM_FILE for files that we open and process ourselves, but there are other files we don't open during argument processing (for instance --tls-key/--tls-cert/--tls-chain)

Research direction
Start in the option-processing path and compare the existing OP_FROM_FILE handling with arguments such as --tls-key, --tls-cert, and --tls-chain. Verify which arguments represent files that are not opened during processing; done means unreadable required file arguments are rejected during option processing.
