[Catalyst] RFC: HTTP 500 status for errors

[Bill Moseley]

"As seen on IRC"...

Catalyst's default on error is to display that nice error message in
eight or so languages.

Currently, that page returns a status of 200.

The proposal is to have it return an HTTP status of 500.

Humans still see the error page and spiders, caches, and cyborgs will
get the 500.

Well, IE users may see whatever MS wants them to see -- although if the
error page is large enough it should display the error page content.
