This change improves the error handling of rpc clients.
Previously, the client tried to unmarshal the response body whatever the returned status code. This typically outputs errors like
invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value
because the body format is HTML and not JSON. This kind of error is difficult to interpret for the end user, this was mentioned for instance in this issue #329 (comment).Now, if the status code is not between 200 and 299, the client doesn't try to unmarshal the response body and directly returns an error
server at '<ADDRESS>' returned <ERROR_STATUS>
