#7854: Tell user why we exit() the browser

Torbrowser currently quits silently when it's not finding the preference
"torbrowser.version". This can be very confusing for the end user and
cause him to debug at the wrong ends, because he has no idea what's wrong.
The browser should instead show a dialog with an error message, and then
quit.
This is trivial to implement: Just add an
alert("Error: Not started from Vidalia. Exiting");
before the
quit(3);
