chore: improve error notifications in annotations and notebooks (#6927)

* chore: improve error notifications in annotations and notebooks

I noticed that annotations and notebooks could display the api error
when requests fail - they are not consistent about it.

* fix: improve failure error message notifications

Including the underlying error in error messages, this improves
notebooks, dashboards, labels, and annotations. Many other error
notifications all need improving e.g. in tasks and secrets.

* chore: run yarn prettier:fix

* chore: whitespace to trigger ci
