JDK-8029967 - Final steps to have Error compliant with V8 Error API
Description
Error, TypeError etc. capture stack trace at the time of throwing the exception.  This is inconsistent with Java as well as other js implementations like v8.

File: test.js

var e = new Error(); 

print("hello");

try {
    throw e;
} catch (e) {
    print(e.stack);
}

--- output --
hello
Error
	at <program> (test.js:6)

-- expected --
hello
Error
	at <program> (test.js:1)
