"Display error message when an include fails"

A writer would benefit from knowing that an include 
is failing and would have great difficulty 
diagnosing this without an error message. This makes 
it easier for a writer to maintain a more robust web 
page in accordance to PMWiki philosphy # 4. Support 
collaborative maintenance of public web pages, and 
# 5. Be easy to install, configure, and maintain. 
Therefore the default should be "on".

Admins who do not want error messages could turn 
this off. If they are smart enough to not need/use 
an error message, then they are smart enough to 
turn this off in the local/config.php file.
