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

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: ```typescript 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 }); } ``` More information about the EcmaScript proposal that made this possible: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-error-cause Fixes hyperledger-cacti#3592 Signed-off-by: Peter Somogyvari <[email protected]>
