Title:
  Connection error when no client-platform (drivers) installed is
  confusing

Status in Mir:
  Fix Committed
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you don't have a client-platform installed the error message during
  connection implies the Mir socket is missing, i.e.

  $ mir_demo_client_basic -m /tmp/mir_socket 
  Failed to connect to server `/tmp/mir_socket': No such file or directory

  I'd expect error messages like:
  Failed to connect to server `/tmp/mir_socket': Unable to open Mir socket (No such file or directory)
  Failed to connect to server `/tmp/mir_socket': Unable to access client platform (No such file or directory)
