display errors and stack traces prominently #35

We have a lot of users who don't know how to check the browser console for errors.

Before RCloud 2.2 the errors were obfuscated due to att/rcloud#2685, but even so, the browser console isn't an ideal place for them to show up. It's a poor substitute for the R command line, which is the "normal" way to use Shiny.

I wonder if it would be possible to display errors in an aw, shucks dialog or similar. Might have to be nonmodal though.
