build: migrate to Typescript target of ES2022 and use Error.cause

[petermetz]

Project-wide upgrade to Typescript target of ES2022 so that we can use the new Error APIs.

Wherever possible we should now use the new cause property of the built-in Error type in combination with the asError(unknown) utility function:

import { asError } from "@hyperledger/cactus-common";

try {
    await performSomeImportantOperation();
} catch (ex: unknown) {
    const cause = asError(ex);
    throw new Error("Something went wrong while doing something.", { cause });
}

Fixes #3592
