Reddit credentials validation in screenshot_downloader.py

# Description

The Playwright locator timed out in line 175 without letting the user know why. The browser failed to log me in to Reddit using the incorrect credentials, which prevented it from accessing the desired post. This fix should be a much more user-friendly approach.

Without my changes, you can set headless to false and run the program. You will notice a timeout exception comfing from playwright without any indications to the user as to why it happened.
With my changes however, it performs a check to see if the reddit login is returning an error message, if it does it let's the user know to fix his credentials inside of config.toml.
