fix(jest-worker): fail the call when the child process cannot send its result

[AdzerKI]

Summary

When process.send fails on the result of a call, reportSuccess in processChild retries with packMessage. If the second send fails as well, for example with RangeError: Invalid string length for a result too large to serialize, the error escapes reportSuccess:

• for a sync call it is thrown out of the message listener and crashes the child, which gets the same call again after the restart until the retry limit is hit, and the caller ends up with the retry limit error instead of the cause;
• for an async call it becomes an unhandled rejection; when the worker module listens to unhandledRejection, the child keeps running, the call never settles and the parent waits forever.

threadChild already reports the second failure as the error of the call. This does the same in processChild, so the call rejects with the actual error.

Test plan

• New test in processChild.test.ts: both sends throw RangeError: Invalid string length, the call is reported with PARENT_MESSAGE_CLIENT_ERROR. It fails without the change (the RangeError escapes) and passes with it.
• yarn jest packages/jest-worker: 14 suites, 153 tests pass.
• yarn eslint and yarn prettier --check on the changed files, tsc -b of the jest-worker test projects after yarn build:ts.
