Summary

I feel that we are abusing ArcanistUsageException. Throw a more tailed exception instead. Depends on D11197.

Test Plan

arc lint, I guess.

Agreed that these cases feel overbroad for UsageException.

Thoughts on not extending from ArcanistUsageException?

Oh, yeah, I probably wouldn't extend.

Any exception could technically be considered the result of someone misusing something, but I think that distinction becomes meaningless long before we get into a major configuration issue like missing software dependencies.
