Description

[Brian Nicholson (:bnicholson)]

Right now we just print an error in the console. We need to update the UI with a useful message.

I'm going to re-purpose this ticket to track surfacing notifications when Firefox recognizes that your account needs verification or you need to enter your password again.

After discussion with rnewman, tecgirl, and darrin: we are not going to surface any out of App notifications when your Firefox Account is in a bad state or you are unable to Sync.  There are two reasons for this:
1) it's not very iOS like to nag; apparently even email clients, etc, wait to show bad account state (password needed, etc) until the App is in the foreground;
2) we're not intending to support background sync for v1, so there is very little likelihood of finding that the Account state is bad when we're not in the foreground anyway.
