Summary0006014: merchant does not forward errors from the exchange correctly
Description... for example, when the exchange gives the following response:

{
  "error": "insufficient funds",
  "code": 1200,
  "history": []
}

the merchant responds with

{ code: 1006, hint: 'invalid JSON uploaded' }

which is obviously bogus.

eb494d2..1782ab3 works a bit on better error generation for /pay. Note that this changes where the exchange JSON reply is included, so we do need to update the REST specification for this already!

Some changes still required to tip-pickup, then the protocol changes should be done.
We should likely still consider improving the taler_merchant_service.h API to expose the errors to the C client(s), and may also still review doing a better job at returning full replies in taler_exchange_service.h in general.

I've modified both the REST and C APIs to now quite systematically return full error details from the exchange.
