Implement Problem Details for HTTP APIs (RFC 9457) for api errors #495

Description

@johnksv

The API should return more descriptive errors, rather than just plain status code errors, such that the frontend can display this information in a more user friendly (and descriptive) manner.

A suggestion is to implement the well known RFC 9457 standard for this, as documented here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9457
Spring (and other frameworks) also has out-of-the-box support for this, e.g.: https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/web/webmvc/mvc-ann-rest-exceptions.html

As discussed in community meeting in August.
