Description
### Use Case
When fetching a configuration file from a URL, include the error body in the error output to make it easier to identify why fetching a configuration failed.
### Expected behavior
When fetching a configuration from a URL and it fails, I expect to be able to see the error message related to the failure.
### Actual behavior
Currently, when fetching a configuration from a URL, only the response code is displayed in the Telegraf output, not the response body. The actual error message is typically provided in the response body.
### Additional info
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Telegraf entry point that fetches configuration files from URLs and the existing error-output handling. Reproduce a failed URL fetch, inspect how only the response code is reported, and add coverage showing that the response body is included in the resulting error message.
