Code improvement description
When PyPI.org is down, Dependabot Core returns the update job as failed with a private_source_authentication_failure
error.
This means we categorize the issue as a 'non viable update' thinking it is a user-configuration problem when in fact it is a service issue that should trip alarms.
We should take the dependency source into consideration for pip specifically and check if there is a way we can do generically for package managers that don't throw a specific error for their community index being down.
