react sanely to errors #17

Description

@nolessafool

When we show an error that bubbles up from the OS, we often stop dead. Instead, we should:

  1. wait a few seconds, and retry in case the error could be transient (eg: ECONNRESET or ECONNREFUSED)

  2. provide some explanation if the error is something we understand (eg: ENFILE should provide a link to how ulimit works so people can try increasing their # of file handles - something like http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108174/how-to-persist-ulimit-settings-in-osx-mavericks, or at least explain that the deploy has too many files for the current OS configuration)
