REST API POST to /v2/snaps with unknown snap results in 500 "Internal Server Error"

[Mitch Burton]

Making a POST request to the Snapd REST API with a snap name that it cannot find results in a 500 error and an uninformative message:

# curl -sS --unix-socket /run/snapd.socket http://localhost/v2/snaps -X POST \
-d '{"action": "install", "snaps": ["spamandeggs", "hello"]}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
| jq
{
  "type": "error",
  "status-code": 500,
  "status": "Internal Server Error",
  "result": {
    "message": "store.SnapNotFound with 2 snaps"
  }
}

404 is probably a more valuable HTTP response code, but I'm more concerned that there's no indication of which snap was not found.
