client: improve error messaging on crash

Repro steps:
- Run Docker Desktop
- Run `docker run busybox tail -f /dev/null`
- Run `pkill "Docker Desktop"

Expected:
An error message that indicates that Docker Desktop is shutting down.

Actual:
An error message that looks like this:

```
error waiting for container: invalid character 's' looking for beginning of value
```

here's an example:

https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/6575#issuecomment-1324879001

After this change, you get an error message like:

```
error waiting for container: copying response body from Docker: unexpected EOF
```

which is a bit more explicit.
