httpErrors.HttpError type export should be a class, not an interface

• I have searched existing issues to ensure the bug has not already been reported

Fastify version

Description

This module exports a class at httpErrors.HttpError, so I should be able to write an errorHandler in fastify like this:

    errorHandler(error, _request, reply) {
      if (error instanceof httpErrors.HttpError) {
        return error;
      }
      return reply.internalServerError();
    }

However, this doesn't type-check: httpErrors.HttpError is an interface in the type exports:

fastify-sensible/lib/httpError.d.ts

Lines 1 to 9 in 822ae7a

	export interface HttpError extends Error {
	status: number;
	statusCode: number;
	expose: boolean;
	headers?: {
	[key: string]: string;
	};
	[key: string]: any;
	}

And you can't instanceof an interface, because it's a type, not a value. Most likely, HttpError should be a class.

Yep, I'm trying to, it's turning out to be tricky to implement.
