Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource (#7614)
* Expose `return_html_error`, and allow it to take a Jinja2 template instead of a raw string

* Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource

  * use the existing code in `return_html_error` instead of re-implementing it
    (giving it a jinja2 template rather than inventing a new form of template)

  * do the exception-catching in the REST layer rather than in the handler
    layer, to make sure we catch all exceptions.

-  #   This template doesn't currently need any variable to render.
+  #   When rendering, this template is given the following variables:
+  #     * code: an HTML error code corresponding to the error that is being
+  #       returned (typically 400 or 500)
+  #
+  #     * msg: a textual message describing the error.
