Description

Current version of Core STATUS returns an empty response if requested core doesn't exist.

e.q:
http://localhost:8900/solr/admin/cores?action=STATUS&core=abc

<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">
  <int name="status">0</int>
  <int name="QTime">1</int>
  </lst><lst name="initFailures"/>
  <lst name="status">
  <lst name="abc"/>
</lst>
</response>

Instead, it would be good to return an error message stating that the core doesn't exist.
e.g

<response>
<lst name="responseHeader">
  <int name="status">400</int>
  <int name="QTime">27</int>
  </lst>
  <lst name="initFailures"/>
  <lst name="error">
     <str name="msg">Core [abc] does not exist</str>
     <int name="code">400</int>
  </lst>
</response>
