Uncaught exception when running virtualization example program

[cfergeau]

With master, if I run the linux virtualization example without setting any of the required env vars, I'm getting this failure:

VZLinuxBootLoader initWithKernelURL throws an exception because we pass it a null/empty URL, but nothing is catching this exception, so the application gets killed. It would be a lot nicer if calling VZLinuxBootLoader initWithKernelURL with invalid arguments would return a regular go error.

@cfergeau Thanks for your reporting!

Exactly, we should handle them

Maybe it's possible to get other exceptions from these methods? The current fix avoids 'file not found' exceptions. There will still be crashes if an exception is raised for another reason.
