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