Add "debugging mode" to command handling

Description

Since we've temporarily disabled build restrictions for AIs, it has revealed subtle flaws in AI logic, since previously commands would silently fail under certain conditions. So a "debugging mode" is proposed for Commands.js, which would optionally show errors that occur during command handling ("Gather failed: resource not owned by player", "Construct failed: invalid location", etc.) The idea is this mode could be used by AI developers to test changes in their scripts (and possibly UI devs?). Really it only needs to be a flag set somewhere, which parts of Commands.js would check before displaying a message on failure. Even a simple message would be helpful.

I think revision 10570 may have broken "auto-gather" after units build a Mill or Farmstead.
