Require a configuration file.

Right now kdesrc-build will default to kdesrc-buildrc-sample if no
configuration file is present, but that won't be appropriate now that
KF5 is out. Make the user make a choice instead.

The various READMEs and help texts would probably need to be updated to
match, if anyone wants to help. ;)
