More descriptive error when aborting auth due to environment variables#2813
Conversation
Old message:
read-only token in GH_TOKEN cannot be modified
This message was vague and some users did not understand that this
refers to the value that is read from environment variables.
New message:
$ GH_TOKEN=123 ghd auth login -h github.com
The value of the GH_TOKEN environment variable is being used for authentication.
To have GitHub CLI store credentials instead, first clear the value from the environment.

The large changeset is due to restructuring of the code so that individual
authcommands are more responsible about how they print errors when the config isn't writeable.Fixes #2304, closes #2658
