feat(error): consolidate error handling into unified service

- Merge errorReporting.service.ts functionality into errorHandler.service.ts
- Add comprehensive error reporting with circuit breaker pattern
- Implement global JS and native error handlers
- Add safe JSON serialization to prevent circular references
- Include error simulation functions for testing
- Remove dependency on react-native-exception-handler
