87a12421a9 Add helpers to create errdef errors
Instead of having to create a bunch of custom error types that are doing
nothing but wrapping another error in sub-packages, use a common helper
to create errors of the requested type.

e.g. instead of re-implementing this over and over:

```go
type notFoundError struct {
  cause error
}

func(e notFoundError) Error() string {
  return e.cause.Error()
}

func(e notFoundError) NotFound() {}

func(e notFoundError) Cause() error {
  return e.cause
}
```

Packages can instead just do:

```
  errdefs.NotFound(err)
```

ebcb7d6b40 Remove string checking in API error handling
Use strongly typed errors to set HTTP status codes.
Error interfaces are defined in the api/errors package and errors
returned from controllers are checked against these interfaces.

Errors can be wraeped in a pkg/errors.Causer, as long as somewhere in the
line of causes one of the interfaces is implemented. The special error
interfaces take precedence over Causer, meaning if both Causer and one
of the new error interfaces are implemented, the Causer is not
traversed.
