snapcraft upload error because of missing short namespace doesn't tell how to solve the problem

[Leo Arias]

When I try to upload a snap without a missing short namespace in myapps account, I get the error:

Received 403: 'Developer profile is missing short namespace.'

This error needs to be improved. Hide the 403, and show a way to register the namespace. Right now, that would be a link to the website.

Steps to reproduce:

- Register a new user in login.ubuntu.com
- Confirm the account by mail.
- Go to myapps.developer.ubuntu and accept the terms.
- Register a snap.
- snapcraft init
- Change the name of the snap to be the one you registered.
- snapcraft
- snapcraft upload *.snap

The developer agreement and this step break the CLI flow. You have to leave the command line and go to the browser in order to publish your first snap. We should discuss how to avoid that; I think the only step that requires a browser should be registering an SSO account.

This requires a better error code from the store to implement correctly.

this should no longer be a problem, please reopen or log again if you see it rise from the ashes... again
