There might be the case that `fopen($file, 'r')` returns false and thus ownCloud might believe that the config file is empty and thus potentially leading to an overwrite of the config file.
This changeset introduces `file_exists` again which was used in ownCloud 5 where no such problems where reported and should not be affected by such problems.

// Include file and merge config
foreach ($configFiles as $file) {
$filePointer = @fopen($file, 'r');

+ $filePointer === false &&
+ @!file_exists($this->configFilePath)) {
// Opening the main config might not be possible, e.g. if the wrong
// permissions are set (likely on a new installation)
