As keytar does not build on all platforms where we support Azure Identity, make keytar an optional dependency. If keytar is not available, fail gracefully with a message telling the user why the VSCode credential could not be used.
Helps to address #9288 and related issues, where the given platform may not have the ability to install the dependencies keytar needs (and therefore keytar fails to build), or on a platform where keytar itself isn't support (eg on Linux running without X11/Xorg).
