Panic when failing to build metadata for snowflake-connector-python==2.9.0

[notatallshaw]

This came up when I was testing a difficult resolution requirement for rip. During the resolution process rip visited snowflake-connector-python==2.9.0 which is not buildable on my Linux Python 3.11 environment.

However instead of presenting an error and terminimating gracefully, rip presents an error and then panics:

Yes, I am able to reproduce and have actually seen this a lot before. Seeing as the only viable option cannot be built, there is an expect that fails.

I agree we should exit gracefully, with a cannot resolve... or something along those lines :)

We would need to think of something for this: mamba-org/resolvo#14. As currently the API is a bit too limited for us to fix this nicely.

This is fixed in main.
