Client should handle and surface http error code 431 (headers_too_large) when sent from the server

Related to the linked HELP ticket, this customer had a really large user object and we found that envoy was rejecting the request.

This was not showing up in the logs in any discernable way according to the help ticket (here are the logs they posted) [^01340259 error-1.rtf]

It should be possible to repro this by using custom user data and making the object 1/2 MB (that is what the customer had it as).

The goal of this ticket would be to make sure that this is a clearer error in the logs ideally.

This was happening on this SDK release https://github.com/realm/realm-swift/releases/tag/v10.49.1 which correlates to Realm-Core 14.4.1

So, core doesn't do anything to hide this error and it's actually the SDK that implements the http client that would have to surface this error. [~[email protected]], is this something the swift SDK would have to change?
