More user friendly error when trying to start too many MonitorLiveData

Description

When I try to open too many instances of MonitorLiveData (in my case the 9th) I get a MantidPlot unexpected exception dialog saying "No thread available" with Terminate/Continue buttons.

It would be nice to have a less scary message.

I got the same exception at the 9th MonitorLiveData. Interestingly, I can start about 15 simultaneous Pause algorithms...

Refs #5230: if no threads are available, log instead of big scary dlg

The error I got was not scary and had no terminate/continue button:

MantidUI-[Error] No thread was available to run the MonitorLiveData algorithm in the background.

The first 8 monitors continued.
