Description

There are a few errors that InfluxDB scrapers can return (OSS-only) that we should explain and help users troubleshoot.

- Unable to gather
- Unable to gather list of points
- Unable to write gathered points

_[InfluxDB Scraper source code](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/e20b5e99a6f92614b1b97bda0807ef6c2ab1f7e9/gather/scheduler.go#L93-L116)_

Research direction

Start with the linked gather/scheduler.go source to understand where the three scraper errors are produced. Review the linked scrape-data and troubleshooting pages, then document the causes and troubleshooting steps for each error, limited to InfluxDB OSS; done means users can use the guide to diagnose all three cases.
