Description

The consolidated connectors endpoint connectors?expand=status return a `500` error when any of the connector's has an exception from the config provider.  https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/e9edf104866822d9e6c3b637ffbf338767b5bf27/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/AbstractHerder.java#L287

 The status endpoint doesn't need the complete list of configs and just requires the Connector Class to infer if it's a `Source` or a `Sink`. The failed connector status should be returned as `Failed` instead of the endpoint returning a 500.
