errors: make properties mutable

Userland code can break if it depends on a mutable `code` property for
errors. Allow users to change the `code` property but do not propagate
changes to the error `name`.

Additionally, make `message` and `name` consistent with `Error` object
(non-enumerable). Test that `console.log()` and `.toString()` calls on
internal `Error` objects with mutated properties have analogous results
with the standard ECMAScript `Error` objects.
