Dan Reynolds d544fa20b7 add support for stringifying error object messages to stringifySafe (#25723)
Summary:
Error objects logged as part of the arguments to `console.error` such as from [rejected es6 promises](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/v2/modules/es6.promise.js#L110) contain the error that the user would want to see as the error object's message, but is not captured by `stringifySafe`. Here we modify it to if the logged value is an error object print the error similar to chrome:

```
const error = new Error('error');
stringifySafe(error); // Error: error
```

Versus the current behavior which does not recognize the error type and instead tries to stringify the it as an object:

```
JSON.stringify(new Error('error')) // "{}"
```
