Draft: Avoid null ptr dereference when CALO param histo file not found

Avoids a seg fault due to a null pointer derefence when the param histo file is not found

Error in <TFile::TFile>: file /usera/jonesc/LHCbCMake/Feature/PARAM/ParamFiles/v8r999/data/CaloPID/DLLs_parametrization_histograms.root does not exist
 *** Break *** segmentation violation

instead the application shuts down more gracefully via an exception
