What was changed
Add support for failing workflow execution on some error types, notably Non-Determinism errors. Resolves #1358.
TODO
Add support to catch other error types (aside of NDE) on the lang-side Workflow Worker.
Q: Where should that be done? In sandbox? Worker thread? or main thread worker? Formers will make that visible to interceptors, later will ensure we can catch codec errors and some rare runtime errors.
A: Other SDKs do this on the workflow side, same place where it checks if thrown error is a cancellation or TemporalFailure.
Add API to define error types in workflow (ie. in addition to WorkerOptions). That will ensure possibility of catching on subclasses, which can't be on through error type names.
Add tests
