Bug Description

Hello,

When uploading an already-uploaded snap via the web UI I Get:

"binary_sha3_384: A file with this exact same content has already been uploaded"

If you use snapcraft:

> snapcraft push hello-uptest-1_2_amd64.snap
Uploading hello-uptest-1_2_amd64.snap [===================================] 100%
Ready to release!|
Revision 1 of 'hello-uptest-1' created.
> snapcraft push hello-uptest-1_2_amd64.snap
Uploading hello-uptest-1_2_amd64.snap [====================================================] 100%
Error while processing...|
Uploaded 'hello-uptest-1'
There has been a problem while analyzing the snap, check the snap and try to push again.

The "there has been a problem" message is not helpful about the actual nature of the problem. It would be good if the message indicated it's because the store already has that upload.

The response from the store API does contain information stating this is the case, so it should just be a matter of snapcraft using that response to present a friendlier message.
