      MOBILE-2800 displays an error message if an init method required by a custom course format plugin errors or times out.  The message instructs the user to restart the app themselves, as this is the only way to re-run the init call. However, this isn't very user-friendly, and relies on the user understanding what we mean by "restart the app". They may just switch to another app and back, rather than fully killing the app on their device.

      Since calling window.location.reload() effectively restarts the app, we can give the users a button to do this, rather then expecting them to do it themselves.
