Simplify and print XML errors from TinyXML-2

All XML functions now check the return value of
tinyxml2::XMLDocument::Error() after each document gets loaded in to
TinyXML-2. If there's an error, then all functions return. This isn't
strictly necessary, but printing the error message that TinyXML-2 is the
bare minimum we could do to be useful.

Additionally, I've standardized the error messages of missing or
corrupted XML files.

Also, the way the game went about making the XML handles was... a bit
roundabout. There were two XML handles, one for the document and one for
the root element - although only one XML handle suffices. So I've
cleaned that up too.

I could've gone further and added error checking for a whole bunch of
things (e.g. missing elements, missing attributes), but this is good
enough.

Also, if unlock.vvv or settings.vvv don't exist yet, the game is
guaranteed to no-op instead of continuing with the function. Nothing bad
seems to happen if the function continues, but the return statements
should be there anyway to clearly indicate intent.
