Fix crash when starting Alacritty on full drives

Since the Alacritty configuration file is written to the filesystem at
startup, this could create issues when the system does not have any free
space left.

To circumvent this problem, the default configuration is now returned
even when the configuration file could not be created. Instead of
crashing Alacritty, an error is now emitted.

Fixes #1936.
