rABC36613b39a363: util: Handle HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE in bitcoin-cli

Summary

If bitcoind is processing 16 RPC requests, attempting to submit another request using bitcoin-cli produces this less-than-helpful error message: error: couldn't parse reply from server. This PR changes the error to: error: server response: Work queue depth exceeded.

This is a backport of core#18335 and core#21484
