#17: signal an error if discovery didn't discovered anything

If discovery process doesn't discover the necessary information (provider
endpoint at least, but we should check by the spec the minimum required
attribute list), the function should signal an error, instead of leaving
NILs in the AUTHPROC structure, and allow the library fail later (which is
inconvenient to debug).
It's necessary to add a check to the end of the discovery process, that
verifies that the required minimum of information is discovered.
I encountered this problem when was recently testing with technorati.com -
they previously were providing OpenID, and I registered an account.
The OpenID identity URL is
http://technorati.com/people/technorati/clopenid. Today this page does not
have the <link> tags necessary for discovery. In result, the discovery
process just silently created an AUTHPROC struct with NILs. The error
occurred somewhere later in the control flow.
