📄 Description

Currently, when starting up for the first time (running standalone, outside of Docker), bitwarden_rs panics when the openssl tool isn't able to create data/rsa_key.pem due to the data dir not existing:

Instead, we should print a more helpful error message telling the user to create the directory:

Create the data folder and try again.

Or when running in Docker/Podman:

Verify that your data volume is mounted at the correct location.
