Show permission error if ProxyAutoDetect cmd can't be executed
As the proxy commands are not executed as root, a user can run into permission errors (s)he isn't expecting – as our switching is an implementation detail – so the error message in that case should really be better than a generic "error code 100" sending the user in the wrong direction as that implies the command was executed, but errored out.
