Adds a semantic reason for failure which can be optionally interrogated by calling code.
Use the 'Reason.BAD_VERSION' value to trigger a different translated error message from the JImageTask.
I would consider moving the error message string into the Reason enum to simplify the code triggering the error and avoid message string duplication, but it's not straightforward due to the need to supply the version numbers.
We can use this approach to provide translated messages for all the distinct failure reasons if needed.
