authenticate: Report failure to load keys to the daemon.
Previously, when failing to load a signing key, ‘guix authenticate’ would print a backtrace and exit with a non-zero code. That, in turn, would lead the guix-daemon child process to crash with: nix/libutil/serialise.cc:15: virtual nix::BufferedSink::~BufferedSink(): Assertion `!bufPos' failed. This patch fixes it by reporting the error to the daemon as was intended. * guix/scripts/authenticate.scm (guix-authenticate): Arrange to call ‘load-key-pair’ from within ‘with-reply’. * tests/guix-authenticate.sh: Test it. Fixes: guix/guix#4928 Reported-by: Rutherther <rutherther@ditigal.xyz> Change-Id: I8654ad6fdfbe18c55e1e85647d0c49f408d0574a Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org> Merges: #4961
