Display more user friendly error for invalid os logins in Web UI (#47420

)

Host resolution no longer happens prior to connections in the Web
UI and all dial attempts are by UUID. When an invalid login is
attempted the error message constructed only contained the info
provided to the dial request: a login and a Host UUID. To make
this error more user friendly access denied errors are now
augmented with the hostname if the user has permissions to that
host and the error occurs only due to an invalid login.

Closes #23719
