Cradle does not return real errors

[jfhbrook]

To me, it's very important that my javascript APIs give me real errors (meaning instanceof Error), and not strings or plain objects. Cradle is an offender in that it returns vanilla objects:

db.get('I don\'t exist', function (err) { console.log(err instanceof Error ? 'is a real error' : 'is just an object') });
undefined
> is just an object

Yeah, I'm with you 100% on this. Personally I think we should use something like errs because the status property and other metadata are pretty common throughout the codebase.
