Better crash messages when a file isn't found because it was removed by the user during the run
Hello,
Thank you for working on Sphinx, I used this lib heavily for years.
I removed a file during the sphinx run and got the following crash:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The full traceback has been saved in /tmp/sphinx-err-5ytmoq86.log, if you want to report the issue to the developers.
Please also report this if it was a user error, so that a better error message can be provided next time.
A bug report can be filed in the tracker at <https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues>. Thanks!
Describe the solution you'd like
Better error message without crash.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Not doing anything is reasonable too.
