When an error event is thrown on the child process or when a timeout happens, we re-use the original Error instance instead of creating a new one. However we override the error.message.

This PR keep the original error.message as an additional property error.originalMessage.

I need this for one my projects using Execa. That project should proxy a user's command in such a way that users should not be aware of that proxy. In particular, the error messages produced by Execa should be not printed to the console. However the error messages coming from error events on the child process (such as command not found) should be printed. This PR allows for this to happen.
