api, gui: Prevent connection issues due to unsupported-upgrade (fixes #8569) (#8586)

There are some situations where an upgrade wouldn't be supported, even though the noUpgrade bool isn't set. So when handling the errors that are caused by this, when attempting an upgrade, it shouldn't lead to some sort of offline-message/restart/warning/etc...

I added some checks on specific errors related to this and return a 501 (Not Implemented) response instead, in case of an "UpgradeUnsupported"-error. Additionally, on the GUI-side, the 501-response is now not to be considered an error to act upon.
