Implementing error handling with feedback messages

While it's easy for us, as the builders, to spot errors in the workflow execution results, it's much harder for someone filling out the form.

Module Overview

Looking at every possible "ending point", we'll want to communicate to the person that submits the request form what happened. We'll do this via email, but first we need a handy way to get those feedback messages describing what happened.
