Title: Abort CMC startup if state file could not be read or parsed
Component: cmc
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.3.0b1
This avoids simply continuing and creating a new state file, which loses all
comments, ad hoc downtimes, acknowledgements, etc.
Note that it is still OK when there is no state file at all, which is e.g.
the case when the CMC starts for the first time.
