This report pertains to GNU GRUB version 2.04

The "background_image" command mis-diagnoses a non-existent image file as having "unsupported format", rather than stating that it is non-existent.

Steps to reproduce:

On grub commandline:

    background_image /some/nonexistent/file

produces the diagnostic message:

    error: bitmap file '/some/nonexistent/file' is of unsupported format.

Correct diagnosis is that the file doesn't exist.
