feat(shared): Export ClerkAPIResponseError from error subpaths

[jacekradko]

Summary

• Re-export ClerkAPIResponseError and isClerkAPIResponseError from @clerk/backend/errors
• Add ClerkAPIResponseError and ClerkRuntimeError class exports to @clerk/react/errors, @clerk/nextjs/errors, @clerk/react-router/errors, @clerk/vue/errors, and @clerk/nuxt/errors alongside the already-exported type guards
• Add missing isClerkRuntimeError to @clerk/react-router/errors

These error classes are thrown in user-facing code paths but weren't importable from the SDK packages that surface them, requiring users to separately install @clerk/shared.

Test plan

• pnpm build passes
• Backend export snapshot test updated and passing
• React-router export snapshot unaffected (doesn't cover /errors subpath)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • ClerkAPIResponseError and ClerkRuntimeError are now exported from the error subpaths of backend, React, Next.js, React Router, Vue, and Nuxt packages, unifying error exports across frameworks.

• Chores

  • Added a changeset entry marking a patch release that includes these export updates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A changeset entry was added for six packages. The public error subpaths were expanded to also export ClerkAPIResponseError and ClerkRuntimeError across clerk/backend, clerk/react, clerk/nextjs, clerk/react-router, clerk/vue, and clerk/nuxt by adding re-exports in their errors modules. An export-test snapshot was updated to include the newly exported symbols.
