The fact that they *are* subclasses is an implementation detail and
should not be highlighted. The spec calls these NativeErrors, so let's
use that.
Also added a comment explaining *why* they inherit from Error - I was
about to change that :^)
The FunctionPrototype is correct for ErrorConstructor itself:
20.5.2 Properties of the Error Constructor
The Error constructor:
- has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is
%Function.prototype%.
However, not for all the other "NativeError" constructors:
20.5.6.2 Properties of the NativeError Constructors
Each NativeError constructor:
- has a [[Prototype]] internal slot whose value is %Error%.

The previous handling of the name and message properties specifically
was breaking websites that created their own error types and relied on
the error prototype working correctly - not assuming an JS::Error this
object, that is.
The way it works now, and it is supposed to work, is:
- Error.prototype.name and Error.prototype.message just have initial
string values and are no longer getters/setters
- When constructing an error with a message, we create a regular
property on the newly created object, so a lookup of the message
property will either get it from the object directly or go though the
prototype chain
- Internal m_name/m_message properties are no longer needed and removed
This makes printing errors slightly more complicated, as we can no
longer rely on the (safe) internal properties, and cannot trust a
property lookup either - get_without_side_effects() is used to solve
this, it's not perfect but something we can revisit later.
I did some refactoring along the way, there was some really old stuff in
there - accessing vm.call_frame().arguments[0] is not something we (have
to) do anymore :^)
Fixes#6245.
