Details

When a webpay error happens we need to accomplish two things:
- inform the user what happened while they were attempting a purchase
- inform the developer what happened in case they made a programming mistake while using the APIs, keys, etc

Let's make the user informative error and use some kind of alternate short-error (a code?) that developers can use. If we go with a code, let's try to make it readable, not numeric.
Priority: -- → P2
A code that is greppable and understandable with a sane heirarchy: price.tier.unavailable for example would work for me.

First pass at fixing: https://github.com/mozilla/webpay/commit/0f61f2fe375adbdea9165f7e65964d4ed3dba90c

We still need to convert the remaining errors to codes and expose the legend somehow
