* Expose `UnknownBlock` error via `ApiError` In [certain cases](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/5885) a runtime api is called for an unknown block. For example a block which is already pruned or on an abandon fork. In such cases the correct error is returned but it is wrapped in `ApiError::Application` and the only way to figure out what is the problem is to inspect the actual message in the error. In polkadot for example this usually happens when the runtime api version is being queried. It's beneficial to be able to clearly separate such errors so i that when they occur the client side can handle them more gracefully. E.g. log less stressful error message than `State already discarded for BlockId` or cancel any pending work related on this block. * Update primitives/api/src/lib.rs Co-authored-by: Bastian Köcher <git@kchr.de> Co-authored-by: Bastian Köcher <git@kchr.de>

License
- Substrate Primitives (
sp-*), Frame (frame-*) and the pallets (pallets-*), binaries (/bin) and all other utilities are licensed under Apache 2.0. - Substrate Client (
/client/*/sc-*) is licensed under GPL v3.0 with a classpath linking exception.
The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.
In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
