check ssh-add -L exit status

When an agent has no loaded identities, 'ssh-add -L' prints "The agent has no identities.".  ssh-copy-id gets confused by this.  It should check the exit status from 'ssh-add -L' before trying to use its output.

The attached patch is by Adeodato Simó <asp16@alu.ua.es>.
