Disallow throwing literals as exceptions.

It is considered good practice to only throw the Error object itself or an object using the Error object as base objects for user-defined exceptions. The fundamental benefit of Error objects is that they automatically keep track of where they were built and originated.

Invalid:

typescript
throw "error";
throw 0;
throw undefined;
throw null;

Valid:

typescript
throw new Error("error");
