[ruby-core:86549] [Ruby trunk Bug#14688] Net::HTTPResponse#value raises "Net::HTTPServerException" in 4xx response

Issue #14688 has been updated by k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun).


I like this. If nobody has an objection, I want to `deprecate_constant` the old one, and would like the same fix for Net::ProtoServerError as well.

----------------------------------------
Call `value` method to an instance of `Net::HTTPResponse` it raises `Net::HTTPServerException` in case of HTTP response status code is 4xx.

But HTTP response status code 4xx means "Client error response" not "Server response" so I think that's wrong naming.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status#Client_error_responses

Therefore, I think it's maybe specifications bug, but it cause breaking changes in many ruby programs to change exception name.

I propose to create `Net::HTTPClientException` as alias of the `Net::HTTPServerException` for compatibility.
