dreport ERROR for optional missing file /etc/alt_fw_env.config

[bjwyman]

While doing some testing on a Rainier, I encountered some issues that I thought might be worthy of FFDC collected via the dreport tool, so I ran that to collect some data.

During the data collection, it indicated it encountered an error:

According to @anoo1 , that file is actually optional. Some systems, such as Witherspoon, are expected to have that, where as others, such as Rainier, apparently do not have that file.

@devenrao why did you remove the error instead of removing the plugin when not applicable?
