doc: document ES2022's Error "cause" property

ES2022 adds an `options` parameter to the `Error` constructor. If the
options argument contains a property named `cause`, the property's value
is assigned to a non-enumerable property named `cause` on the newly
created error. The `cause` property is not referenced anywhere else in
the ES2022/2023 specifications. It is for error-formatting software like
`util.inspect()` to consume.

The `cause` property was added in V8 9.3, which was added to Node
16.9.0.

+
+If present, the `error.cause` property is the underlying cause of the `Error`.
+It is used when catching an error and throwing a new one with a different
+message or code in order to still have access to the original error.
+
+The `error.cause` property is typically set by calling
+`new Error(message, { cause })`. It is not set by the constructor if the
+`cause` option is not provided.
+
+This property allows errors to be chained. When serializing `Error` objects,
+[`util.inspect()`][] recursively serializes `error.cause` if it is set.
