mgr/dashboard: return 400 for all tracker API errors in feedback

The feedback create endpoint previously classified most tracker API
errors as 500 (Internal Server Error) and relied on fragile string
matching to detect the single "Invalid issue tracker API key" case
for a 400 response.

This caused intermittent test failures (and misleading errors for
users) whenever tracker.ceph.com returned something other than a
plain 401 — e.g., 5xx, forbidden, or a network error. Because the
error message would not match the magic string and the code would
fall through to a hardcoded 500.

Any failure from an upstream API is by definition not an internal
server error. Surface all RuntimeError from the feedback module as
a 400 DashboardException, letting the caller see the underlying
tracker error message.
