Description
This PR provides more detailed error messages when the content initializer fails. It does that by passing a unix pipe to the content initializer process started by ws-daemon, to which that process can write error messages. We can't just use the stderr/stdout of the content initializer process because that's too verbose and JSON formatted. With this design we have more control over the final error message.
