nsExternalHelperAppService sends a localized error message to onStatusChange, but the downloads code is not using it.
We should bring it over to the download object, and at a minimum we could expose it in a tooltip.
Further UX work could also be done to find a better place in the UI to show the message.

We can pass over the localized error message from nsExternalHelperAppService to
the downloads UI and show it to the user. That may help the user figuring out
why the download failed.
For now long messages are delegated to the tooltip.
