fix authentication response if UMC-server is not running

If the UMC-Server is not running and someone tries to authenticate at UMC the UMC Web-Server currently answers with "401 - Unauthorized" - so that the user thinks his password is wrong.

Instead the answer should be "503 - Service Unavailable".
Attached is a patch which changes this, the frontend already handles this and shows a correct information dialog to the user then.
The dialog contains the text:
"Interner Server-Fehler: Der Dienst ist momentan nicht erreichbar!

Fehlernachricht des Servers:

The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server."

Additionally this message could be adapted so that the user is questioned to inform the Administrator to restart the UMC-Server.

In the internal development process we often stumble up on this.
