Fix error messages to show actual API response instead of assumed causes

- Remove hardcoded "denied by provider due to insufficient permissions
  or quota limits" messages that assumed 403 causes
- Show actual status code and API error message when available
- Remove unused getMovieRequestDeniedMessage and getSeasonRequestDeniedMessage
- Helps diagnose actual issues (reverse proxy, network, permissions, etc.)
