Add visual error/warning message

Whenever a warning or an error has been written to the log file/stdout,
a message is now displayed in Alacritty which indicates where the error
came from.

The message is cleared whenever the screen is cleared using either the
`clear` command or the `Ctrl+L` key binding.
