Inform user when plugin initialization fails (catch `ModuleNotFoundError`)
When the plugin is activated and required libraries are not installed the initialization of the plugin fails.
Currently, this is being reported on the Preferences dialog > Plugins tab with an error icon, but no other details are supplied. The user remains hence uninformed about what they can do to remediate the situation.
Expected Behavior
- The user should be informed (on the user interface) about the error reason,
- and should get hints about what they can do to get the plugin working.
