Improve error message when unable to fetch context

See original GitHub issue

When the context providers make AWS service calls to determine information (such as the list of availability zones), the user credentials are currently blindly assumed to have permissions to make the required calls, and the error message is opaque (You are not authorized to perform this operation) and does not give any indication of what permission is missing.

Example:

Some context information is missing. Fetching...
Reading AZs for REDACTED:us-east-1
Using default AWS SDK credentials for account REDACTED:us
You are not authorized to perform this operation.
UnauthorizedOperation: You are not authorized to perform this operation.
 at Request.extractError (/usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/services/ec2.js:50:35)

Using --verbose with cdk synth helped me find the issue. In my case it was: Call failed: describeAvailabilityZones(undefined) => You are not authorized to perform this operation.
