3.1. Remove the numerical error codes to be in sync with the VCDM specification (pr cid#140)

See github pull request cid#140.

Brent Zundel: Remove numerical error codes to be in sync with the VCDM spec.

Manu Sporny: +1 to this change.

Brent Zundel: It does what it says. It removes the error codes while retaining the names of the error codes. Anyone want to say we don't want to do this, please say so, can take comments briefly, etc. if needed.

Ivan Herman: Just remarking that there is a sister PR in the DI spec which does the same. It also makes the changes in the vocab definition file. These two PRs should go hand-in-hand.

See github pull request vc-data-integrity#327.

Manu Sporny: Yes, +1 -- we made a decision in the group to remove the error codes in the group and this is just Ivan making sure we follow that guidance.

Minor but important clean up then +1. I see VCDM's problem details isn't in sync with bitstring status list either, looks like we should just loosen VCDM and then everything will be in sync and will also match the RFC requirements (advisory only), see: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9457#name-title.
