Improve messaging for self-update if no Composer auth token set #585

Description

@asgrim

pie self-update will fail on a brand new system that has not had a Composer auth token set up, with an error something like:

Could not authenticate against github.com

This is because the "latest release" endpoint requires authentication, if someone has already set up Composer, it won't be an issue. We should improve the messaging here to instruct people how to handle this.
