Allow errors to set HTTP status codes

[patrick91]

Discussed in https://github.com/strawberry-graphql/strawberry/discussions/2304

^{Originally posted by **ShourovRoy** November 2, 2022} Apollo Graphql has a function to modify status code on error that can be overridden which plays an important role for implementing refresh token. Is there any way to do that here?

Apollo server allows errors to change the status code, maybe we can do the same:

import { GraphQLError } from 'graphql';

const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    someField() {
      throw new GraphQLError('the error message', {
        extensions: {
          code: 'SOMETHING_BAD_HAPPENED',
          http: {
            status: 404,
            headers: new Map([
              ['some-header', 'it was bad'],
              ['another-header', 'seriously'],
            ]),
          },
        },
      });
    },
  },
};

I'm somewhat critical of setting the http status right in the base GraphQL error, as the Schema is transport-agnostic. Maybe we can create a new Http or StatusCode GraphQLError with a middleware for the HTTP/Websocket/(in the future SSE) views that injects the code based on the new Error class.
