Bug Description

It seems the charm store went offline for a period of time. It was returning a 503 Service Unavailable, but rather than handling the HTTP status code, the code assumes that all responses will be valid JSON and aborts because "<html>" isn't valid JSON.

machine-0: 17:57:39 ERROR juju.worker.dependency "charm-revision-updater" manifold worker returned unexpected error: while getting latest charm revision info: cannot get metadata from the charm store: cannot unmarshal error response "<html><body><h1>503 Service Unavailable</h1>\nNo server is available to handle this request.\n</body></html>\n": invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

Note also that ones the 'charm-revision-updater' gets this error, it fails the worker, which then bounces and restarts 1 second later, which fails in the same way.

We should treat 503 significantly more gracefully than we do.
