Raise this or a child class to have Falcon automagically return pretty
error responses (with an appropriate HTTP status code) to the client
when something goes wrong.
Attributes:
status: HTTP status line, such as "748 Confounded by Ponies".
title: Error title to send to the client.
description: Description of the error to send to the client.
headers: A dictionary of extra headers to add to the response.
link: An href that the client can provide to the user for getting help.
code: An internal application code that a user can reference when
requesting support for the error.

Falcon will catch instances of HTTPError (and subclasses), then use
the associated information to generate a nice response for the client.
Args:
status: HTTP status code and text, such as "400 Bad Request"
title: Human-friendly error title. Set to None if you wish Falcon
to return an empty response body (all remaining args will
be ignored except for headers.) Do this only when you don't
wish to disclose sensitive information about why a request was
refused, or if the status and headers are self-descriptive.
description: Human-friendly description of the error, along with a
helpful suggestion or two (default None).
headers: A dictionary of extra headers to return in the
response to the client (default None).
href: A URL someone can visit to find out more information
(default None). Unicode characters are percent-encoded.
href_text: If href is given, use this as the friendly
title/description for the link (defaults to "API documentation
for this error").
code: An internal code that customers can reference in their
support request or to help them when searching for knowledge
base articles related to this error.
