Panic when library specified via upgrade command is not upgradable #1868

Description

Describe the problem

Individual libraries can be specified for upgrade via the arguments to the arduino-cli lib upgrade command.

🐛 If the library is not upgradable, either due to already being at the latest version, or else due to not being installed, Arduino CLI panics.

To reproduce

$ arduino-cli version
arduino-cli.exe  Version: git-snapshot Commit: 3cd782d6 Date: 2022-09-07T17:10:43Z

Upgrade library already at latest version

$ arduino-cli lib install Servo

$ arduino-cli lib upgrade Servo
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0 addr=0x8 pc=0xa73ea5]

🐛 The command panicked even though this operation should simply exit with status 0

🐛 The command panicked instead of clearly communicating the problem to the user.

Expected behavior

Arduino CLI only panics on unexpected (i.e., caused by a bug in the Arduino CLI codebase) failures. Any failure that can result from normal (even if incorrect) usage should be handled gracefully.
