Improve error message when users don't configure the password for password-protected SSH keys #802

Description

@pjbgf

Flux supports the use of password-protected SSH keys. When they are being used, users must provide it via a password field on the same secret in which the identity (private key) and known_hosts are provided.

If users forget to provide such a password, they end up getting the error below:
error: error creating SSH agent: "SSH agent requested but SSH_AUTH_SOCK not-specified"}

The error message could be improved to make it easier for users to realise what the problem is.
