Add GUI error dialog box on Linux / OS X

Description

On Windows, debug_warn etc pops up a dialog box. On Linux / OS X we just print to stdout and expect the user to respond via stdin, which is no good if they're fullscreen or if they launched from a menu.

Possibly we could use an external tool like xmessage to do the fiddly business of displaying a dialog box with minimal dependencies.

(In [8661]) Add xmessage-based GUI dialog box for debug messages on Linux (fixes #663). Switch out of fullscreen before displaying dialog boxes. Add Engine.DebugWarn? for testing.
