Consume: what happens in the client when all nodes fail with a fatal error? #72

The only notifications that indicate the request has finished are channel_deleted or stopped. There's another case, though: when all nodes return a fatal error to the client (e.g. internal error / unsupported). It's not clear how the client handles this.

Probably what currently happens is that the request finishes, but the user is not notified. This isn't a very good approach ;)
