Remove cutout for missing font file in PdfFile._embedTeXFont.

If fontfile is None, an error would already have been raised earlier in dviFontName (which explicitly checks for this case). (The cutout in _embedTeXFont was introduced first, in ed0066f (2009), but support for that case appears to have been broken a bit later and the check in dviFontName was then introduced in 4fcc0e7 (2016) where it simply improved the clarity of the exception ultimately raised.)
