If it must fail if the jimage file cannot be opened, that should mean it must 
fail when the file is not present, unless the existence of the file is what 
defines "an images build".

If "is an images build" is meant to be a synonym for "the jimage file exists on 
disk", then this change might create a case where one observer decides "the is 
an images build" (by looking for the file) but the JVM behaves as if it's an 
"exploded" build and loads classes from elsewhere (though equally, this might 
not be possible based on other code paths).

The jimage file existing on disk is something that the JVM build/installation 
controls, but whether mmap works is something the underlying system controls. 
This change conflates the two things in terms of subsequent behaviour, and I'm 
not 100% sure that's what we want.
