Relevant specification section:

Don't set the span status description if the reason can be inferred from http.status_code.

The rationale

Although method SpanStatusFromHTTPStatusCode is not directly responsible for setting the span status code and message, many instrumentation packages depend directly on it to set the span status. This puts the burden of setting the appropriate span message on those instrumentation packages.

The change presented in this PR ensures that method SpanStatusFromHTTPStatusCode returns span status code and message which can be directly used and would adhere to the requirements, i.e. for error statuses where the reason can be inferred from http.status_code attribute, the span status message will be unset (empty).

Resolves (partially) #1376
