Calc's F4 error message

We display an error message dialog (ScDocShell::ErrorMessage()) to prompt the
user with information that would assist them, but this dialog is missing two
things that would make it even more useful, which are found in regular dialogs.

1) Dialog Title - This would help give additional information to the error
message and is a common feature in such dialogs, like the save document dialog
as well as in LibreOffice Basic's MsgBox function
https://help.libreoffice.org/Basic/MsgBox_Function_Runtime

2) Help Button - A common feature found in most dialogs, a help button would
launch the help viewer to give the user more information about the feature that
is returning the error.

An example error message dialog can be seen by opening Calc and pressing F4 or
Shift+F4.
