Jx: Unhelpful `jx promote` failure message when `jx env` not on `dev`

[cyrille-leclerc]

Problem

jx promote fails with a message hard to understand when invoked with jx env not being on the dev environment.

WARNING: No $BUILD_NUMBER environment variable found so cannot record promotion activities into the PipelineActivity resources in kubernetes

jx promote my-app --version 2.1 --env production
