A common issue people run into when running compiletest is that filtering for files that don't exist is only a warning and not an error; running the whole test suite instead.
See for example https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/182449-t-compiler.2Fhelp/topic/Question.20about.20compiletest.
This is especially bad when using --bless, which will modify all .stderr files.

Change bootstrap to require valid filters instead of discarding invalid filters and continuing.

Seems like a good adjustment. Eventually might want to be a eprintln! and exit(1), or similar, but we're not there yet.
