Document errors with large requests #75

Closed dwinter closed 8 years ago

Large requests to the NCBI frequently result in errors ( #74, #70 ).

It would be useful for users to know exactly what's going on in these cases. We can either, update the documentation to be more explicit about these problems or update entrez_check to return useful messages for the error codes most commmonly encoutered in these cases (400 and 502?)
