Limit unbound label cardinality on request errors
This converts all request errors to the string `<error>` instead of
passing the full error string. Error strings can have arbitrary values
and thus have a cardinality that is not suitable for a metric
use case.
Inspecting individual errors is a logging use case which can be handled separately by registering a client error handler.
