substitute-binary: Gracefully handle HTTP GET errors.

* guix/http-client.scm (&http-get-error): New condition type.
  (http-fetch): Raise it instead of using 'error'.
* guix/scripts/substitute-binary.scm (fetch) <http>: Wrap body into
  'guard' form; gracefully handle 'http-get-error?' conditions.
