Fix memtest hook: grub.cfg/live.cfg missing during binary hooks is expected

lb binary_grub-efi and lb binary_syslinux create these files from templates
that already have memtest entries hardcoded. The hook should not fail when
the files don't exist yet — validate_iso_memtest() checks the final ISO.
Only the binary files (x64.bin, x64.efi) are required here.
