Converting circular structure to JSON error

Hello,

First of all, thank you for the great product. It’s pleasure to create fancy CLI output using it.

In recent versions, we faced a problem when an error happening in a listr task. If context contains objects with circular reference, another error throws by JSON.stringify: Converting circular structure to JSON.

It goes from cloneObject function:

    at cloneObject (/~/Dash/dashmate/node_modules/listr2/dist/utils/general.js:8:28)
    at TaskWrapper.report (/~/Dash/dashmate/node_modules/listr2/dist/lib/task-wrapper.js:50:104)
    at Task.run (/~/Dash/dashmate/node_modules/listr2/dist/lib/task.js:266:29)
    at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:95:5)
    at async /~/Dash/dashmate/node_modules/p-map/index.js:57:22

I would recommend to use lodash’s cloneDeep or alternatives instead of JSON.parse(JSON.stringify).

Hi!

We have functions that allow modifying tasks inside. Functions return task bodies (so object with title, task, e.t.c.)

And so this error comes up.
