Description

Describe the solution you'd like

For activity failure, application failure, child workflow failure, Nexus handler failure, Nexus operation failure, and timeout failure, we should append all non-"details" properties to the message. Java already does this for most, Go for some, other languages do not at all.

May need to discuss if this is something we want to do with application failure since it is user created. Java and Go do though.

Research direction

Start by comparing how the Go and Java SDKs currently format activity, application, child workflow, Nexus handler, Nexus operation, and timeout failures. Then inspect the corresponding error-formatting entry points in each unchecked SDK, including the application-failure decision. Done means the agreed non-"details" properties are appended consistently across the remaining SDKs.
