add underlying cause for `TransportError`
Is it possible to save a reference to the last exception thrown at:
https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-python/blob/0afc61a3a9c3d5035c913ad4a7568e8a888e2ec9/google/auth/compute_engine/_metadata.py#L204
and use it to build a more meaningful error message? at:
https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-python/blob/0afc61a3a9c3d5035c913ad4a7568e8a888e2ec9/google/auth/compute_engine/_metadata.py#L217-L220
that way the underlying reason for the TransportError would be available even if DEBUG logging level is not enabled.
Should be a small and easy fix. Just add a variable store the last seen exception, and inherit it using the from syntax.
