fix: Ensure originalException has type unknown (#7361)

This used to be typed as `Error | string | null` which is not correct, as technically _anything_ can be thrown. To reflect this existing reality, we have to broaden this type. Note that this _could_ lead to problems for users that currently depend on this type, but any potential issues arising because of this would actually be valid problems that should actually be fixed in the user code (e.g. relying on `error.message` to be present, for example).
