[chef] chef solo launch without sudo reports config file missing - then runs it

[Hedge Hog < >]

Hi,
When you run `chef-solo -c solo.rb` as an ordinary user, Chef finds
and processes the config file, but claims it cannot even find the
file.

Of course later the Chef run fails _if_ it needs sudo permissions, but
not before.
To be clear, I'm not suggesting an early exit is the desired behavior,
rather the false-error report is the issue.
Chef processing the solo.rb file is what I desire, I want to test that
what is contained in the solo.rb file is executed without the whole
Chef run being done.
Nonetheless, the file not found error report is a bug.
