[FLINK-8785][rest] Handle JobSubmissionExceptions ## What is the purpose of the change This PR modifies the `JobSubmitHandler` to handle exceptions contained in the future returned by `DispatcherGateway#submitJob`. An exception handler was added via `CompletableFuture#exceptionally` to return a proper `ErrorResponseBody` signaling that the job submission has failed. This PR is pretty much the bare-bones solution; in the JIRA I advocated for including error messages from exceptions since there are various reasons why the submission could fail, but I can't find a satisfying solution. ## Verifying this change * see new test in `JobSubmitHandlerTest` ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
