Handle initialization error YouTube API Service

Refer to the exercises of "Simple example using YouTube Android Player API" and "YouTubeThumbnailView example", onInitializationFailure() methods will be called with YouTubeInitializationResult passed if fail in initialization.

If the error is is user-recoverable (isUserRecoverableError() == true), we can proceed by calling getErrorDialog(Activity, int), and then show this dialog to enable users to recover from this error.

Modify MainActivity.java from last exercise "YouTubeThumbnailView example of YouTube Android Player API" to handle onInitializationFailure() for YouTubePlayer and YouTubeThumbnailView.
