They're not native due to nodejs/node#48716, but we want to treat them as such anyway.
* Remove is-error dependency * Document edge case where `error instanceof Error` can be true, yet AVA does not recognize `error` as an error See also #2911 for an earlier attempt.

closes: #9083 ## Description Breaking changes in v6: https://github.com/avajs/ava/releases/tag/v6.0.0 Relevant subset: - When tests finish, worker threads or child processes are no longer exited through proces.exit(). If your test file does not exit on its own, the test run will time out. avajs/ava#3260 - Failed assertions now throw, meaning that any subsequent code is not executed. This also impacts the type definitions. avajs/ava#3246 - [Only native errors](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#utiltypesisnativeerrorvalue) are now considered errors by the t.throws() and t.throwsAsync() assertions. [Object.create(Error.prototype) is not a native error](https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/v6.0.0/Object.create(Error.prototype)). avajs/ava#3229 This removes our local patches of Ava - #7619 - #7330 ### Security Considerations none, no runtime change ### Scaling Considerations none, no runtime change ### Documentation Considerations none ### Testing Considerations CI ### Upgrade Considerations none, no runtime change

Includes a workaround for nodejs/node#48716 so that we can treat worker errors as such.
