See: grpc/grpc@master/doc/statuscodes.md

Here Unknown is defined as follows:

Unknown error. For example, this error may be returned when a Status value received 
from another address space belongs to an error space that is not known in this 
address space. Also errors raised by APIs that do not return enough error information
may be converted to this error.

There is also a mention of returning Unknown for parsing errors in the table in the above doc.

In #8548, we added code to ignore any HTTP status received in the response from the server as we should only be looking at gRPC status. But this PR also inadvertently changed the returned gRPC status code from Unknown to Internal for missing status. This has since been reverted in #8702.

We are currently returning Internal for status parsing errors as well, which is contrary to what is mentioned in the above spec. We should change it to return Unknown as well.
