Truncates stack traces from failed requests

[andersk]

With @octokit/plugin-throttling installed, the stack trace from a failed request does not show the calling function (here outer). This makes it hard to track down where the error originates in a large project.

This is due to the bottleneck library (which seems to be unmaintained, perhaps a replacement should be investigated):

• Truncated stack trace from error thrown by scheduled job SGrondin/bottleneck#228
• Is bottleneck still maintained? SGrondin/bottleneck#207

Same issue in @octokit/plugin-retry:

• [BUG]: Truncates stack traces from failed requests plugin-retry.js#660

import { Octokit } from "@octokit/rest";
import { throttling } from "@octokit/plugin-throttling";

const MyOctokit = Octokit.plugin(throttling);
const octokit = new MyOctokit({
  throttle: { onRateLimit() {}, onSecondaryRateLimit() {} },
});

async function outer() {
  await octokit.users.getByUsername({
    username: "_invalid",
  });
}

await outer();

I would love to move away from bottleneck as it also has some issues running on Deno, however I am only a community volunteer maintainer, and don't work on this full time.

Feel free to take this up
