Description
Restify Version
"restify": "7.6.0",
"restify-clients": "2.6.4"

Expected behaviour
Restify JSON client should provide error as JSON object
Actual behaviour
It is giving error of some "F" type. See attached screenshot.
Repro case
- Create a JSON client.
- Give get request from JSON client to unavailable endpoint (to generate error) and check the JSON in debug
- You will see it as "F" type.

Research direction
Start with the JSON client reproduction described in the issue: request an unavailable endpoint and inspect the error in the debugger. Trace how the client represents that error and compare it with the expected JSON object. Done means the unavailable-endpoint error is exposed as a JSON object rather than a value shown as type "F".
