Improve error messages in STDCI environment variable handling
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OVIRT-1689
                URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1689
            Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
         Issue Type: Improvement
         Components: mock_runner
           Reporter: Daniel Belenky
           Assignee: infra
* All references to things like 'xdg-home' need to be replaced with specifications of actual paths, as users are not expected to know what XDG is.
* Accurate indication of what is missing from which file and what can be done to fix it need to be given in all error messages.
* When variable/key names are given in error messages, they need to be quoted for clarity.
* Edge cases like for example an existing but empty secrets file and a missing 'secrets_data' key need to be handled better, with clear error messages
*  Error message when a requested env var is missing needs to be improved to tell the user what to do. Current message can be very confusing when trying to use 'mock_runner.sh' for the 'jenkins' repo for example.
