player: print an error message if run command fails 

Note that we can't use mp_msg, because it's not async-signal safe (we
might be running other threads while forking, so only functions
specified to be async-signal safe can be called, and this doesn't
include stdio; mp_msg acquires a mutex too).

Also, always print a \n before running the program to flush the status
line. The effect is that a program running successfully as well as the
error message will effectively start on a new line.
