ErrorAbstract is freezing Hermes engine (React Native)

[sesm]

This line of code in ErrorAbstract is freezing Hermes JS engine in React Native applications: https://github.com/GetStream/stream-js/blob/main/src/errors.ts#L21

Please see minimal example React Native app here: https://github.com/sesm/rn-gestream-freeze

Comment from Hermes team:

There is a bug in GetStream's AbstractError constructor. The call should be Error.captureStackTrace(this, AbstractError), and not Error.captureStackTrace(this, AbstractError.constructor).

@sesm Thank you for reporting. I've been banging my head up against the wall on this one.

@nickstamas you are welcome! Here is a workaround patch just in case (copied from patch-package output):

@sesm Thanks for this! That's now 2 heads saved from wall banging
