make storeKey throw exceptions

When storing content on remote fails, always display a reason why.

Since the Storer used by special remotes already did, this mostly affects
git remotes, but not entirely. For example, if git-lfs failed to connect to
the endpoint, it used to silently return False.

Converted the storeKey method to throw exceptions. This was a 1000 line
patch, 3 hours of work. Seems likely it will take 24 hours work to finish
converting all the methods..
There were quite a few places where it used to return False without
displaying a reason for the failure, so the work seems worth it.
