Subject: [PATCH] Report a failed Google Doc update instead of an empty
 success.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Creating the document and then failing to write its content still returned
200 with success true, so the app opened a blank file. A failed batch update
now returns 502 with the document link and a fixed error.
