[Bug]: toThrow and toStrictEqual matchers compare only message field of errors

[tbossi]

Version

29.3.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone my repo https://github.com/tbossi/jest-bug-error-match
2. Run npm test
3. The tests fail

Expected behavior

All tests should pass.

Specifically:

1. Custom error objects with same message field value but different other fields values should not be equal.
2. In JavaScript you can throw custom objects (not extending Error), therefore the toThrow matcher should compare the whole object and not only the message field (which could be missing).

Actual behavior

Error objects equality is only established by comparing the message field.

Additional context
