Downgrade middleware stack dump from `warn` to `info`

At the moment, if middleware ever returns an `Error` object, its stack
trace will get dumped into `logger.warn`. This can be quite noisy,
especially if those errors are part of normal control flow (eg
authentication).

This behaviour can currently be avoided by passing just a `string` to
the middleware callback (rather than an `Error` object). However, this
is not the "standard" behaviour for callbacks, which will typically be
called with an actual `Error` object, rather than a `string` (eg Node's
[`fs` module][1]).

This change downgrades the logging from `warn` (surprising, but non-
critical) to `info` (unsurprising), so that the information is still
available to those who want it, but doesn't get the same sort of
importance assigned to it as other things we `warn` about, such as:

  - [stream errors][2]
  - [`Agent` close errors][3]
  - [bad messages][4]
  - [bad acks][5]

If consumers want more information about the errors that they are
themselves returning, they can naturally add their own logging logic,
too.
