   Failures when setting up auth/authz in Cassandra show be more made more 
clear.
   
   Issues noticed are:
    * When configuring `PasswordAuthenticator` with a custom IRoleManager 
implementation, the message will report "CassandraRoleManager must be used with 
PasswordAuthenticator". "CassandraRoleManager" can be used with any 
`IAuthenticator` implementation. The issue here is that `PasswordAuthenticator` 
requires using `CassandraRoleManager` because it has an implicit dependency on 
how passwords are created by it.
    * If we're configuring `MutualTlsWithPasswordFallbackAuthenticator` with 
another `IRoleManager` implementation we'll see a message that we're using 
`PasswordAuthenticator` which is incorrect.
    * When enabling authorization without enabling authentication, error 
message just says that "[IAuhtenticator] can't be used with [IAuthorizer]" 
without explaining why
    * Exceptions thrown when instantiating auth* classes are swallowed 
preventing users to understand what the issue was.
