types: WebSocket error events are ErrorEvent (fixes #36329)

[deepshekhardas]

Fixes #36329

The runtime fires an ErrorEvent for WebSocket error events (with .error, .message, .type), but WebSocketEventMap typed it as Event, so event.error failed to typecheck:

webSocket.addEventListener("error", (event) => console.log(event.error));
// Property 'error' does not exist on type 'Event'.

Change WebSocketEventMap["error"] from Event to ErrorEvent (the WHATWG spec's fail-the-WebSocket-connection steps fire an ErrorEvent, and browsers expose the same shape). ErrorEvent is already a global in bun-types with .error and .message.

Add inferred ErrorEvent coverage for "error" listeners.

Use an inferred callback parameter and access event.message and event.error in test/integration/bun-types/fixture/websocket.ts. Run bun test test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts.

Thank you for the fix. #39608, opened about six hours before this PR, already carries this exact line. It also changes the onerror handler parameter to ErrorEvent, so ws.onerror = e => e.error type-checks as well, and it extends test/integration/bun-types/fixture/websocket.ts to cover both addEventListener("error", ...) and onerror.

The maintainers asked for the open bun-types fixes to land together in that PR. #34264 and #32484 were closed for the same reason. I am closing this PR in favor of #39608. #36329 closes when it lands.
