Improved error handling

[jasonab]

Issue Summary

Currently, all error handling is through raw returns of HTTP status codes. The library should throw standard Python exceptions on failure, hopefully giving error messages explaining what happened and why.

Technical details:

• sendgrid-python Version: 3.0.6

Hello @jasonab,

We will leave this ticket open so others can vote and comment, pushing the priority up.
