Make connections to the registry fail gracefully

[bioharz]

command:

dadi api new my-api

version:

node: v8.9.4
dadi-cli: 2.1.0 
mongod: v3.6.2

expected:

A folder structure like this:

my-api/
  config/              # contains environment-specific configuration files
    config.development.json
  server.js            # the entry point for the application
  package.json
  workspace/
    collections/       # collection specification files
    endpoints/         # custom JavaScript endpoints

behavior:

Checking the available versions of DADI API
nothing happens. cli crashes. no new files or folder were created. no error message.

Update: firewall was blocking connections. works fine now. CLOSED

Hi @bioharz, thanks for reporting this problem. I'm glad it's all sorted now, but I think it's still worth us looking into it on our end, to ensure that in situations like these people get more informative error messages.

If it's okay with you, I'll reopen the issue and change the title to reflect that.

Thanks!
