Jonas Dreßler c494597a91 screencastService: Signal errors via the internal dbus interface
Make sure gnome-shell gets notified of errors that happen during screen
recording using the screencastService, so that it can properly notify the
user about the error and tear down its state, too.

Screencast:
@file_template: the template for the filename to use
@options: a dictionary of optional parameters
@success: whether the screencast was started successfully
@filename_used: the file where the screencast is being saved
Records a screencast of the whole screen and saves it
(by default) as webm video under a filename derived from
@file_template. The template is either a relative or absolute
filename which may contain some escape sequences - %d and %t
will be replaced by the start date and time of the recording.
If a relative name is used, the screencast will be saved in the
$XDG_VIDEOS_DIR if it exists, or the home directory otherwise.
The actual filename of the saved video is returned in @filename_used.
The set of optional parameters in @options currently consists of:
'draw-cursor'(b): whether the cursor should be included in the
recording (true)
'framerate'(i): the number of frames per second that should be
recorded if possible (30)
'pipeline'(s): the GStreamer pipeline used to encode recordings
in gst-launch format; if not specified, the
recorder will produce vp8 (webm) video (unset)
