If an invalid extension name is passed to a 'EXT:...' path, the
GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName function returns an empty string.
This results in a scan of '\' in the first place, and the resulting
error is not helpful for finding the source of the missing icons
in the TCA select box.
A check for a valid directory name and an exception in case of
failure will help the situation.
