Refactor code for turning HttpResponseException into SynapseError

This commit replaces SynapseError.from_http_response_exception with
HttpResponseException.to_synapse_error.

The new method actually returns a ProxiedRequestError, which allows us to pass
through additional metadata from the API call.
