UI has no feedback when `ctags` binary exits with non-zero #145

I was getting no symbols in my python files and it took me a while to figure out the problem was a malformed ~/.ctags file.

See: https://github.com/atom/language-python/issues/131

If the UI had at least told me ctags was exiting with an error code (and hopefully shown its output) this would've been much easier to figure out.

There's a related issue here that arguments understood by my system-wide version of ctags may not be handled by the version bundled with symbols-view. Will open a separate issue for that.
