Prevent Error::type_id overrides

Browse source 
type_id now takes an argument that can't be named outside of the
std::error module, which prevents any implementations from overriding
it. It's a pretty grody solution, and there's no way we can stabilize
the method with this API, but it avoids the soudness issue!

Closes #60784
