Subject: [PATCH] add display_error_messages option to engine settings

A new option is added to engines to hide error messages from users. It
is called `display_error_messages` and by default it is set to `True`.
If it is set to `False` error messages do not show up on the UI.

Keep in mind that engines are still suspended if needed regardless of
this setting.

Closes #1828
