Improve feedback if Load algorithm can't identify file

Description

Point the Load algorithm at a completely random file (a jpeg, for example) and the response is just the following" 

 Error in execution of algorithm Load:
 Cannot find loader, LoaderName property has not been set.

We need to be more helpful than this! More pertinently, this also happens if it doesn't recognise the flavour of nexus file.

(In [10927]) Fixes #2839. Make the error message from the Load algorithm much clearer if it can't find an appropriate loader.
