Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

I need to be able handle and cleanup tokens that have expired or are not working for whatever reason. I just migrated from sendToDevice to send and I was surprise that only a string response/error is returned when send is called.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

A response object that contains status, error code and message

similar to the return type of the now deprecated sendToDevice method

export interface FirebaseError {

code: string;

message: string;

stack?: string;

toJSON(): object;
}

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

There is no exhaustive list of all the error so there is no way for me to know when to remove expired token from my DB or keep them

**Additional context**

it is a bit wierd that other methods get a proper error object but send just gets a string error
