fix: surface auth errors instead of sending unauthenticated requests

[tjp2021]

Summary

• Auth errors are silently swallowed, causing confusing 401 responses
• Now prints the actual error message + troubleshooting steps and exits

The Bug

main.rs:239-242 catches all auth::get_token() errors and silently continues with AuthMethod::None:

// Before
Err(_) => (None, executor::AuthMethod::None),

This sends the HTTP request without an Authorization header, producing:

{"error":{"code":401,"message":"Access denied. No credentials provided."}}

Users see a generic Google API 401 with no indication that the CLI failed to load their local credentials. This is the root cause of #137, #151, and #156.

The Fix

// After
Err(e) => {
    eprintln!("Authentication failed: {e:#}");
    eprintln!();
    eprintln!("Troubleshooting:");
    eprintln!("  1. Run `gws auth login --account <your-email>` to re-authenticate");
    eprintln!("  2. Run `gws auth status` to check credential state");
    eprintln!("  3. If the problem persists, run `gws auth logout` then `gws auth login`");
    std::process::exit(1);
}

Before

$ gws drive files list
{"error":{"code":401,"message":"Access denied. No credentials provided."}}

After

$ gws drive files list
Authentication failed: Failed to decrypt credentials: ...

Troubleshooting:
  1. Run `gws auth login --account <your-email>` to re-authenticate
  2. Run `gws auth status` to check credential state
  3. If the problem persists, run `gws auth logout` then `gws auth login`

Why this matters

At least 5 open issues (#137, #151, #156, #179, #187) stem from users seeing 401 after successful login. The silent error swallowing makes this nearly impossible to debug — users assume the CLI is sending credentials when it isn't.

This doesn't fix the underlying credential decryption issues (keyring, encryption key mismatches, etc.), but it makes them visible so users can actually troubleshoot or report the real error.

Fixes #137, #151, #156

Test Plan

• Change is type-safe (eprintln! + process::exit are infallible)
• cargo test (maintainer — I don't have Rust toolchain installed)
• Verify successful auth flow unaffected (Ok path is unchanged)
• Verify failed auth now shows the error instead of 401
