docs: clarify 415 vs 400 errors for Request.json

Browse source 
Clarify that Request.json raises different error codes:
- 415 Unsupported Media Type: when Content-Type is not application/json
- 400 Bad Request: when body is not valid JSON

This makes the documentation consistent with the API reference
and helps developers understand when each error will occur.

Fixes #5825
