RestconfDocumentedException has a number of problems:

1. it is tied to WebApplicationException, which is a JAX-RS thing
2. it requires status, which is a JAX-RS thing
3. if can be instantiated with no errors
4. it is an unchecked exception
5. it's instantiation is quite verbose for users

Gradually address all of these issues. The primary goal is to ditch the binding to JAX-RS. In that regard the actual status code should always be inferred from the error list.
