Be less brutal in setting Result-Code/Failed-AVP
When receiving a request for which errors have been detected during decode, diameter previously used the errors list in the decoded diameter_packet record to unconditionally set Result-Code and Failed-AVP in the outgoing answer. It wasn't particularly delicate in doing so however and would happily set a 5xxx Result-Code even if a handle_request callback returned an answer-message, leading to an encode error. This behaviour became even less endearing as of commit ac452e28, which made it possible to handle_request to take place even for protocol errors. (ie. When a callback typically should return an answer-message.) This commit fixes the behaviour by only setting a value that's appropriate for the answer in question, either a 3xxx or a 5xxx, depending on if the answer's an answer-message or not. It also allows handle_request to prevent diameter from setting anything by setting errors = false in a returned diameter_packet. Ideally it should have been errors = [] but the empty list is the default value for the errors field and changing the default (ideally there shouldn't have been one) would require recompilation of all modules including diameter.hrl: choose the less attractive 'false' to avoid such backwards incompatibility. The request reception is also refactored somewhat to shorten some call chains.
