Description

### Description

React Native SDK currently supports linked exceptions using [`cause`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/cause) but doesn't support [AggregateError](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/AggregateError).

### Notes

- Implementing this might likely change grouping so it should be done in a major version.

### Works
```json
{
"message": "Third",
"cause": {
"message": "Second",
"cause": {
"message": "First",
}
}
}
```

### Not implemented at the moment
```json
{
"message": "Third",
"errors": [
{
"message": "First",
},
{
"message": "Second",
},
]
}
```

Research direction

No implementation file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reading the linked exception-groups RFC, the AggregateError references, and the related sentry-javascript pull request, while checking the blocking Sentry issue. Done means React Native events represent AggregateError's errors array consistently with the documented example and grouping implications are addressed.
