Page#setForward(Class) silently fails for a non-existing .htm
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CLK-561
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-561
             Project: Click
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: WarnerJan Veldhuis


When setting a forward in a page, and the corresponding .htm is missing, 
Page#setForward(Class) will silently fail, and Page#getForward() will return 
null. Eventually, you will remain on the current page, since ClickServlet  
wasn't told otherwise.

Example:
IndexPage.java
...
public boolean onLogin() {
...
   if ( isLoggedIn ) {
        setForward(HomePage.class);
        return false;
   }
...
}

If home.htm is missing, setForward will set the forward field to null, while I 
would expect it to barf with an IllegalArgumentException. The javadoc of 
ConfigService#getPagePath(Class) also says: "@throws IllegalArgumentException 
if the Page Class is not configured"

Proposed solution:
Instead of returning null in XmlConfigService#getPagePage(Class), throw an IAE.
