Print gh auth refresh instead of gh auth login when the user encounters a 401 #13066

Description

@333fred

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

gh auth refresh exists as a useful, quick reauthentication mechanism for users, but the existing error messages around gh operations due to expired tokens do not suggest this; instead, they suggest gh auth login, which has a number of extra steps involved.

Proposed solution

Instead of printing gh auth login when a token generated by gh auth login returns a 401, print gh auth refresh, so the user knows about the simpler path.

Additional context

Don't think there's anything else to add here.
