Little improvement on the messages of the exceptions thrown by ExternalClient
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-4177
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4177
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: MichaƂ Michalski
            Priority: Trivial


After adding BulkRecordWriter (or actually ExternalClient) the ability to make 
use of authentication I've noticed that exceptions that are thrown on login 
failure are very misguiding - there's always a "Could not retrieve endpoint 
ranges" RuntimeException being thrown, no matter what really happens. This 
"hides" the real reason of all authentication problems. I've changed this line 
a bit, so all the messages are passed without any change, so now I get - for 
example - "AuthenticationException(why:Given password in password mode MD5 
could not be validated for user operator)" or - in worst case - "Unexpected 
authentication problem", which is waaay more helpful, so I submit this trivial, 
but useful improvement.
