Subject: [PATCH] ea3: fix boot failure when -e is specified to override
 ea3-config path (#655)

## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Regression introduced by #595

## Description of change
`avs::core::file_exists` fails if you use `\` as path separator... what
I meant to use was `fileutils::file_exists`.

This would have caused failures - mostly for gitadora players - if they
used `prop\ea3-config2.xml` for example.

## Testing
