pad: Improve rendering of uncaught exceptions 

* Use jQuery to build the message HTML so that special characters in
    the error message, URL, etc. are properly escaped. This helps
    avoid XSS vulnerabilities.
  * Use bold text for the error message to make it stand out.
  * Add a line break between the error message and "in <url> at line
    <line>" so that the error message stands out more.
  * Use `<p>...</p>` instead of `</br>` to separate the parts of the
    popup.
  * Use CSS for spacing instead of `</br>`.
  * Grammar fixes (add a missing comma, "at" instead of "in").
