gtkplacessidebar: Improve error message when unlocking volume fails

segfault3 requested to merge segfault3/gtk:gtk-3-24-improve-error-message into gtk-3-24

A user test showed that the error message created by the places sidebar was not helpful to the participants:

We hope that this small patch can improve the UX a bit. The better solution would be to display in the error message (and the title) why exactly the unlocking failed - but this is much more complex, as it requires significant changes to how libcryptsetup handles errors.
