Add a `stack` accessor?

ie, stack :: Error -> String, that just reads the stack property. There's no agreed-upon format but according to MDN all modern browsers support it, and I'm pretty sure it's always a String.
I thought we already had this, but actually it's just used in the show instance when available:
purescript-exceptions/src/Control/Monad/Eff/Exception.js

Ah ok - come to think of it, perhaps it should be Error -> Maybe String, then. There might be a purity issue with this too; it wouldn't surprise me if you could violate some expectation if you wrote a program that changed behaviour based on an error's stack. Although I think access to stack traces is probably useful enough that we needn't worry, and people are probably only going to use them while debugging anyway.
