  Bug #887249 in Software Properties: "Providing wrong ppa format in add-apt-repository throws a 404 error which is not handled appropriately"

For more details, see:

In case the user provides a wrong username or ppa name, then the exception is handled

* The exception handler checks that if the username starts with a ~, in this case 
  it suggests does the user mean the username without a ~. e.g. if the user does
  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:~gnome3team/stable, then the script will ask the user
  if he means ppa:gnome3team/stable
* Even better friendlier messages can be provided, but for that it will introduce 
  lauchpadlib as a dependency
