Bug Description

Whenever there's a network error (I think remote line busy, too), the dialer app just closes the in-call screen. There's no sound, no feedback on why the call failed.

There should be a corresponding sound and the screen should show the reason in the in-call screen after the proximity sensor deactivates, that times out after a few seconds, or a press on the end-call button.

This is somewhat similar to bug #1303260

Implementation note 1: The lower layers of our telephony stack (mako hw, RIL, oFono) already provide the reason why a call ended. I tested that I get all three different values for org.ofono.VoiceCall.DisconnectReason (see https://github.com/rilmodem/ofono/blob/master/doc/voicecall-api.txt#L87 ) correctly.

Implementation note 2: We do not yet have a mechanism for playing telephony-specific notification sounds. See also bug 1187453.
(Of course, a generic system beep would already be an improvement over having no feedback at all).
