Description

Currently, when keepstore is trying to read a block, if one Azure-backed volume encounters a 503 error and all other volumes return 404, keepstore returns 404 to its client. This is a non-retryable error so the client will give up.

The correct behavior is to return a 502 or 503 status in this situation.

Azure error message:

storage: service returned error: StatusCode=503, ErrorCode=ServerBusy, ErrorMessage=The server is busy.

Test run: https://ci.curoverse.com/job/developer-run-tests/1082/

When requesting a block, if keepstore gets errors from all of its volumes, the error that was being returned to the client was 404 no matter which error the volumes returned.
Now, when receiving a VolumeBusyError (transient error) from a volume backend, keepstore will return a 503 status so that the client can retry instead of mistakenly believe that the block is not there.

Small nit pick, I would update the comment for TestGetHandler to include your test scenario. Otherwise, LGTM.
