Subject: show error if account view creation fails

This can happen for example if aerc is compiled without notmuch support but the
notmuch worker is requested.
Pushing a status message isn't good enough, as this gets overridden pretty
quickly if one has multiple accounts configured.
So we show a fullscreen error instead.
