When a user encounters an error they only get a generic error message. Users need to go to the dev console and try to find and share the actual error message. If the issue doesn't reproduce, it's not possible to root cause the problem.
This commit adds the current date, error message, and the current URL to the error component so when a user shares a screen shot we have the necessary info without the need for them to go to the dev console.
This commit also refactors the check for the timeout logic into the error component which removes the duplicate logic.
Fixes: #105549
Release note (ui change): The generic error message now includes details about the actual error, and other context to make it easier to root cause.
Release Justification: Improved troubleshooting experience
