⋔ from expressjs/api-error-handler

The same great module by @jonathanong except with some modernizations:

• deps upgraded
• supertest replaced with jest
• configuration option showStackTrace
• call with default options without parentheses like app.use(jsonError) vs app.use(jsonError({ showStackTrace: true })
