A layer referring to a missing style makes wms caps generation fail
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2558
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2558
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Community schema
    Affects Versions: 1.7.1
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 1.7.2

A layer whose style has been deleted from the file system breaks the capabilities generation with a null pointer exception.
The proper behaviour should be to disable the layer on loading instead.

To reproduce,. stop geoserver, delete tiger_roads.sld from the data dir, restart, notice the style loading exception, then ask for the capabilities and notice
how the tiger_roads layer has a <Style> element that's never closed. Also, in that case, it's better to return a service exception instead
of just keep on encoding an invalid document.
