This is what you get if you run mender as a non-root user which does not have permission to access disk (U-boot env and rootfs)

Above can be confused with "fw_printenv/fw_setenv" issues which print the same error.
This was observed on Raspbian where the default user is "pi", but will probably be common mistake when running other Debian like distributions where you typically have a non-root user as default.
Acceptance criteria:
- Detect "permission denied" and report an descriptive error message
