customError: rewrite the module using class syntax

The previous syntax caused a deprecation warning on Node 10.
However, due to the very old version of log4js Etherpad is currently using,
customError objects are going to be displayed as { inspect: [Function: inspect] }.

This needs to be addressed later, updating log4js.

Fixes #3834.
