Add errors.AsType helper (Go 1.26+)

[Kupstas]

Motivation

Go 1.26 introduces errors.AsType, a generic helper that makes typed error extraction more concise and safer than the classic errors.As(err, &target) pattern without reflect.

cockroachdb/errors is widely used as a drop-in replacement for the standard library errors for wrapping, stack traces, and utilities. Adding an AsType-style API (or mirroring stdlib when building with Go 1.26+) would:

• reduce boilerplate (var t *T; if errors.As(err, &t) { ... })
• improve readability and reduce misuse
• align the package with modern Go idioms (generic helpers)
• help projects keep a single “errors surface” without mixing stdlib + cockroachdb/errors

Request

Add errors.AsType to this package with semantics matching Go 1.26 errors.AsType.

• On Go 1.26+: delegate to stdlib errors.AsType.
• Use go:build constraints to keep compatibility clean.

//go:build go1.26

package errors

import (
    sterrors "errors"
)

// AsType delegates to the standard library implementation on Go 1.26+.
func AsType[T any](err error) (T, bool) {
    return sterrors.AsType[T](err)
}
