KAFKA-5969: Use correct error message when the JSON file is invalid
When invalid JSON file is passed to the
bin/kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh / PreferredReplicaLeaderElectionCommand
tool it gives a misleading error `Preferred replica election data is empty`.
This PR replaces it with the correct error message.
