Brian Goff ebcb7d6b40 Remove string checking in API error handling
Use strongly typed errors to set HTTP status codes.
Error interfaces are defined in the api/errors package and errors
returned from controllers are checked against these interfaces.

Errors can be wraeped in a pkg/errors.Causer, as long as somewhere in the
line of causes one of the interfaces is implemented. The special error
interfaces take precedence over Causer, meaning if both Causer and one
of the new error interfaces are implemented, the Causer is not
traversed.

// Package errdefs defines a set of error interfaces that packages should use for communicating classes of errors.
// Errors that cross the package boundary should implement one (and only one) of these interfaces.
//
// Packages should not reference these interfaces directly, only implement them.
// To check if a particular error implements one of these interfaces, there are helper
// functions provided (e.g. `Is<SomeError>`) which can be used rather than asserting the interfaces directly.
// If you must assert on these interfaces, be sure to check the causal chain (`err.Cause()`).
