The reason for a failure to login using Firebase Auth isn't accessible by the caller #270

Current Behaviour

The underlying Firebase Auth errors thrown by the firebase package are silenced and a generic error is throws. Example:

    import { useLogin } from 'react-admin'

    const login = useLogin()
    await login({ username: 'invalid', password: 'credentials' })    

the error thrown by the login method is a generic js-Error with the message Login error: invalid credentials. The original error by the Firebase Sdk is silenced.

See:

public async HandleAuthLogin(params: { username: string; password: string }) {
const { username, password } = params;
if (username && password) {
try {
const user = await this.fireWrapper.authSigninEmailPassword(
username,
password
);
log('HandleAuthLogin: user sucessfully logged in', { user });
return user;
} catch (e) {
log('HandleAuthLogin: invalid credentials', { params });
throw new Error('Login error: invalid credentials');
}
} else {
return this.getUserLogin();
}
}

Expected Behaviour

The underlying Firebase error should be catchable to be able to make more informed decisions about the error. E.g. the error could be a auth/user-not-found as the user may have been deleted.

I propose the just re-throw the original Firebase error or at least offer a way to access it (e.g. using verror).
