Keyring failures give bad error messages

[jameinel]

I'm running on a headless machine, and apparently there is something wrong with my exported credential.
However, when I try to do something, the error message is very unhelpful:

$ charmcraft names
charmcraft internal error: InitError('Failed to create the collection: Prompt dismissed..')

Transferred this issue from charmcraft project, as this should be caught generically by craft-store and raise a proper error (so all projects using this lib benefit from the improvement)
