when beets is started and the database file is on e.g. a volume that is full beets quits with the message "database file could not be opened {path to file}". The original error message coming from sqlite is lost. the proposed patch attaches the original error as 'reason'. in the case of disk full it reads now "database file {path to file} could not be opened, reason: database or disk is full"
I have no idea how to create a test for it, because the test case either depends on a not-writeable database file or on a mock of sqlite
