Verification validation errors aren't logged to console

[mefellows]

When there is a validation error communicating in the "pacts for verification" endpoint, the errors are not printed to the console.

It looks like whoever implemented https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-reference/pull/79 did not consider this, but also it was not communicated/documented in https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact_broker/issues/307 so 🤷 .

The error structure appears to be:

"errors": {
   "problematic key": [ list of errors ]
}

e.g.

  "errors": {
    "providerVersionBranch": [
      "when pending or WIP pacts are enabled and there are no tags provided, the provider version branch must not be an empty string, as it is used in the calculations for WIP/pending. A value must be provided (recommended), or it must not be set at all."
    ]
  }
