Link to status page in API error response might be helpful?

[bixu]

Currently, an error from the API when installing a package gives fairly terse response:

» Installing core/<dependency_package> from channel 'stable'
✗✗✗
✗✗✗ [504 Gateway Timeout]
✗✗✗
   <my_package>: WARN No installed packages of 'core/<dependency_package>' were found

Adding a status url to this response would help user find authoritative information about the upstream depot/neighborhood, for example:

» Installing core/<dependency_package> from channel 'stable'
✗✗✗
✗✗✗ [504 Gateway Timeout]
✗✗✗ See http://habitat.statuspage.io
✗✗✗
   <my_package>: WARN No installed packages of 'core/<dependency_package>' were found

How would this work when bound to a different depot? Private depot doesn't have a nice status page that you can link to.

@predominant, not sure about that, and since we have private origins now (as of yesterday ;), maybe it's not as important? Also, I think there is still discussion around private 'neighborhood' builders, so maybe until that stuff is finalized it doesn't make sense to worry about responses from a privately-hosted Builder API?

Agreed @bixu
