all: Make all error implementations pointer types (#6726)

This matches the convention of the stdlib and avoids ambiguity: when
customErr{} and &customErr{} both implement error, client code needs to
check for both.

Memory use should remain the same, since storing a non-pointer type in
an interface value still copies the value to the heap.
