problem_statement: Errors in sign_bytes are not clear
 **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When there is an error in the request made in the function [sign_bytes](https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-python/blob/main/google/auth/impersonated_credentials.py#L274) is not clear what the real error is. It is  just throwing  a `KeyError: 'signedBlob'`:

```
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/storages/backends/gcloud.py", line 255, in url
return blob.generate_signed_url(self.expiration)
partner-marketing_web_1 |   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google/cloud/storage/blob.py", line 622, in generate_signed_url
return helper(
partner-marketing_web_1 |   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google/cloud/storage/_signing.py", line 395, in generate_signed_url_v2
signed_query_params = get_signed_query_params_v2(
partner-marketing_web_1 |   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google/cloud/storage/_signing.py", line 80, in get_signed_query_params_v2
signature_bytes = credentials.sign_bytes(string_to_sign.encode("ascii"))
partner-marketing_web_1 |   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google/auth/impersonated_credentials.py", line 293, in sign_bytes
return base64.b64decode(response.json()["signedBlob"])
KeyError: 'signedBlob'
```
 **Describe the solution you'd like**
It would be great to have a more clear understanding of the real error. In my case the response was returning 
```
{'error': {'code': 403, 'message': 'The caller does not have permission', 'status': 'PERMISSION_DENIED'}}
```

One option is to validate the response (`response.json()`), before returning the `signedBlob`. Similar to https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-python/blob/main/google/auth/iam.py#L79

```
def sign_bytes(self, message):
    ...
    response = authed_session.post(
            url=iam_sign_endpoint, headers=headers, json=body
        )
    body = response.json()
    
    if "error" in body:
        # raise a more appropriate error
        
    return base64.b64decode(body["signedBlob"])

```
