Expose HTTP code during GitHub importer errors

Harsh Chouraria requested to merge hchouraria-github-importer-present-http-status-code-during-error into master

What does this MR do and why?

Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.

This change adjusts the message returned to the user when a GitHub import operation fails to include the response HTTP code.

This is useful when the HTTP body is empty, such as during the use of reverse proxies in accessing a GitHub Enterprise instance over the internet.

The presence of a HTTP code can help establish if a connection was at least made successfully and the HTTP code can further be traced in their own proxy or GitHub Enterprise logging for further troubleshooting.

The logs already carry this information, but on SaaS this is currently not visible due to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/reliability/-/issues/15470
