Don't swallow errors

See original GitHub issue

The fact this middleware swallows errors makes debugging hard. I think for the very least in addition to marking error: true it would be useful to call a hook notifying the user of the error - at least when debugging.

@pocesar native promises and most libraries (NPO and RSVP lagging behind, but it’s not a huge deal anymore) now emit warnings. This issue was about getting some indication about the error.

Note that this issue is old, and has since been addressed in both popular middlewares that do promises, I just forgot to close it.

that’s actually how promises work. if you decide to use something like bluebird, it’ll emit verbose warnings with stacktraces about unhandled rejections. you’re in charge of handling your errors (as you would in try / catch statements, if / elses, etc) plus it already propagate the rejection after dispatching the error https://github.com/acdlite/redux-promise/blob/master/src/index.js#L20
