NarrClient: include cdo output snippet in parse-failure errors

Browse source 
Prod hit "no parseable values in cdo output" for a 2007 record.
Without the actual cdo output it's guesswork whether it's a different
parameter-table format, an empty result, or something else. Capture
stderr (stderr_to_stdout: true) and include first 500 chars of output
so the error message has enough signal to diagnose.
