* Allow passing a cause to predefined error functions

This allows passing an `Error` class object to one of the predefined error functions as defined in `rpcErrors` and `providerErrors`. Upon calling the `serialise` function of the `JsonRpcError` class, the cause error will be serialised using the `serializeCause` function.

* Add tests to ensure error.serialize().data is not an instance of Error

The expect function ensures that the type of error.serialize().data is an object and contains specific serialized data while ensuring it does not contain an error instance. This test is necessary to avoid unexpected errors during exception handling.

* Apply suggestions from code review

* Standardise workflows per the module template as of April 2023

* Enable Dependabot to update '@metamask/*' npm packages daily

This commit adds a Dependabot configuration file to the repository to enable daily checks for new versions of '@metamask/*' npm packages, updating them if needed, and opening a maximum of 10 pull requests with these updates. The configuration file uses the 'increase-if-necessary' versioning strategy to ensure that only necessary version bumps are considered for update.

* Update build matrix in GitHub Actions

Remove Node.js 14.x from the build matrix since it's no longer supported. The build matrix now includes only Node.js 16.x, 18.x, and 19.x.

This reverts commit ab0ebca.

As #98 removes the ability to import or require from paths like
 `@metamask/rpc-errors/dist/foo` and a release is still pending for the
 current major, this will have to be temporarily reverted.

* types: Make Data type-parameter optional in JsonRpcError

This is in order to provide backwards-compatibility with code
implemented towards v5.0.0.

* fix/types: make cause actually optional in DataWithOptionalCause

* deps: @metamask/utils@^5.0.0->^8.0.0
