Show a message if joining via clonk://-url fails #91

It is confusing for the user if he wants to join an outdated reference with clonk (clonk.exe clonk://league.clonkspot.org:80/?action=query&game_id=1234567) and the game closes immediately because no active reference with this ID was found. The user only sees a black screen and a flickering loading screen for a short time.

A message should be displayed that the reference was not found. This must be confirmed with "OK" before the game closes.

That breaks starting games via command line without user interaction. Time for the n+1th command line argument, I guess...

I am okay with a timer which automatically closes the game after n seconds idle or a command to suppress any errors like -q or something else.
