Postpone error message display if not in GUI thread

Calls to report_error() crashed if not called from GUI thread.
Fix this by postponing error message display if not in GUI thread.
Code that creates a thread which possibly calls report_error()
is responsible for calling MainWindow::showErrors() to flush
the accumulated messages.

Note that there is a race condition in report_error() and
get_error_string(). Nevertheless, hitting it should be rather
unlikely (two threads producing error messages at the same time)
and hopefully it can be fixed rather easily.
