[Bug 1880368] [NEW] do-release-upgrade doesn't always open a window

Public bug reported:

1. Open the update manager
2. Click "Upgrade"
3. do-release-upgrade is launched but exits immediately without showing any window

What happened is that do-release-upgrade prints an error message to the
console. However the message is not displayed in a window. For end-users
this is very surprising.

Instead, do-release-upgrade should always print error messages in a GTK
window.
