Description of problem:
As part of testing EPIC https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ACM-15286, I entered a malformed SSH key to install-config.yaml file and ran the installation. The installer hanged for one hour until it finally failed without a clear error message:

How reproducible:
1/1
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 3 SSH key pairs (key#1-4) for kni user
2. Edit ~/install-config.yaml and insert to it public keys:
key#1, malformed key, and key#3 as described here:
https://github.com/stolostron/rhacm-docs/blob/80caff6e57e8ac32cf3bcccad7d4af718899055c/clusters/install_upgrade/install_disconnected.adoc
3. Run: /openshift-install --dir clusterconfigs --log-level debug create cluster
Actual results:
Installer hangs for 1 hour and finally fails without clear error message
Expected results:
Installer validates the install-config.yaml file and return a corresponding error message right on the start of the installation
