Description

If project code throws a runtime error, the (human-friendly) error message should appear in the console, just as it does in the bowser JavaScript console.

Combined with #1262 this might make the existing mechanism for displaying runtime errors obsolete? Although I do like how in-your-face the existing functionality is. We could certainly keep both.

Research direction

Start by tracing how project runtime errors are currently displayed in the editor and how errors reach the browser JavaScript console. Read issue #1262 alongside this issue to determine whether the existing display should remain; done means human-friendly runtime errors appear in the console without losing the existing behavior unless the project decides otherwise.
