refactor(core): Move the response errors into @n8n/backend-services (no-changelog)
Move the generic ResponseError hierarchy (BadRequestError, NotFoundError,
ForbiddenError, ...) into @n8n/backend-services and point every cli
import at the package root. 29 backend modules import these classes.

Feature-specific response errors (MFA codes, license EULA, credential
and workflow transfer, webhook not found, workflow activation and
validation) stay in cli next to the code that throws them. They extend
the generic classes from the package. WorkflowPublishBlockedError moves
because three modules import it.

What does n8n mean?

Short answer: It means "nodemation" and is pronounced as n-eight-n.

Long answer: "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on 'n8n'." - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io
