frontend segfault if QUERY_LOAD or QUERY_MEMSTATS fail

Description

If QUERY_LOAD or QUERY_MEMSTATS fail for some reason, backend sends an error message (a single element stringlist) in response.

Frontend assumes that it always receives a multi-element stringlist, resulting in segfault. This patch adds checks strlist.count() before parsing.

(In [21513]) Prevent a frontend segfault if certain protocol queries fail and return unexpected results. This does things a little differently from the supplied patch from Jeff Lu by creating a common error response which SendReceiveStringlist?() will look for and handle accordingly. Closes #6588
