having an expired scratch org as the default target-org causes the CLI to hang trying to connect to it

[cristiand391]

If I create a scratch org, set it as the default with sf config set target-org <org-username> --global then left it expire, sf still tries to connect to it and causes a ~10s delay on all commands executions (it tries to conect to the instance URL, which isn't valid at that point.

Expected result

if the target-org expired then it should be ignored

Actual result

expired target-org causes a ~10s delay on all commands (even if it's not using --target-org like sf plugins).

The bug was likely caused by an issue with the sfdx entry in my keychain, other team member couldn't repro (also tested on my personal linux machine), see the internal slack thread linked.
