Description

When options_load() positively decides that its option file has a certain path, but fails to load it, it mostly applies the same defaults as a completely fresh run; but it doesn't do client_option_adjust_defaults().

I noticed this when using the FREECIV_OPT environment variable pointing to a nonexistent file to simulate a fresh installation. But I think it would be the right behaviour for any case where we found an option file but couldn't even open it.

I think this bug has very little practical effect currently; only Gtk clients adjust options, and on modern systems they never actually make any adjustment (#765941-6).
