Fixes gitkraken#708 - Prompt for file path when missing from revision

Improves the `openFileAtRevision()` function by:
- Asking user to enter another path when the requested file doesn't exist in the
  selected revision.
- Showing an error message on subsequent failure (or if an error is thrown).

The above function is used by a number of commands:
- `gitlens.openFileRevision`
- `gitlens.openFileRevisionFrom`
- `gitlens.openRevisionFile`
