pachyderm: "context deadline exceeded" when requesting pachctl version

I recently upgraded my dev machine to use the most recent pachctl. It seems like something is wrong when I request the version.

pachctl version
COMPONENT           VERSION             
pachctl             1.4.6               
context deadline exceeded

We still need to make this error message clearer. Context deadline exceeded doesn’t mean anything and users hit this a lot.

@jdoliner re: your above comment, can we catch this and print something along the lines of “cannot connect to pachd. Please check that pachd pod is running with kubectl get all”?

@thedrow agreed that this is not a very clear error, we should catch it and output something clearer.
