When working with the player and Spotify returns an error, a reason string is included in the response. It would be super handy to get access to this reason string through the SpotifyWebAPIException exception, with for instance $e->getReason(). This would make it much easier to deal with the different errors.

The reason string is available in the response body with the key reason on player errors.

If this is something you might consider I don't mind submitting a PR for it.

Cool, I didn't know about that property!

A PR adding a getReason method would be highly appreciated!
