New Release v4.7.6 - Added support for logging Apex errors in LWC/Aura

[jongpie]

Resolved #299 (requested by @arbokrad) for LWC & Aura logging by updating the JavaScript function setError() in logEntryBuilder.js to support logging both JavaScript errors and Apex controller errors:

• Passing a JavaScript Error (existing functionality)

  const logger = this.template.querySelector('c-logger');
  const someError = new TypeError('oops');
  console.log('the JavaScript error', error);
  const entry = logger.error(this.message).setError(someError).addTag('lwc logging demo');
  console.log('entry==', JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(entry)));

• Passing an Apex error (new functionality)

  const logger = this.template.querySelector('c-logger');
  await callSomeApexMethod()
    .then(result => {
      console.log('the result from the Apex controller', JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(result)));
    })
    .catch(error => {
      console.log('the Apex controller error', error);
      const entry = logger.error(this.message).setError(error);
      console.log('entry==', JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(entry)));
    });

This makes it easy for JS developers to pass either type of error, and Nebula Logger handles parsing the error data as needed. Below is a screenshot of the result of the new functionality of logging an Apex error - the green box shows that the LogEntry__c originated from an LWC, but the red box shows that the error logged by the LWC was an Apex error
