worker: use correct ctor for error serialization
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When serializing errors, use the error constructor that is
closest to the object itself in the prototype chain.

The previous practice of walking downwards meant that
`Error` would usually be the first constructor that is used,
even when a more specific one would be available/appropriate,
because it is the base class of the other common error types.
