WebRender can fail to initialization for many reasons. This isn't useful for diagnosing it. Let's expose the detailed error message we get from WR as the failure reason.

We don't know why we see initialization failures in the telemetry which
makes it hard to investigate why users aren't getting WebRender and
instead fallback to basic. Let's expose the detailed error message
WebRender already generates and puts in the critical log.
