[MESOS-6182] LinuxRootfs::create ignores failures from adding non-existing files

Description

LinuxRootfs::create attempts to add a hardcoded list of files to the created rootfs. However, if a file does not exist no failure is created, but the file will be missing from the rootfs.

This can then lead to failures in tests using the rootfs and relying on files in it.

We should make failures to compose the planned rootfs explicit so users of this test code know what they can rely on.
