Handle del errors better
If del-cli fails due to improper usage (e.g. deleting the cwd or a file outside the cwd), the error message is really noisy:
❯ del ~/some/dir
file:///.../del-cli/node_modules/del/index.js:37
throw new Error('Cannot delete files/directories outside the current working directory. Can be overridden with the `force` option.');

Error: Cannot delete files/directories outside the current working directory. Can be overridden with the `force` option.

Node.js v18.17.1These errors should be caught and console.errored instead:
❯ del ~/some/dir
Cannot delete files/directories outside the current working directory. Can be overridden with the `force` option.Maybe del could export a DelError class, and del-cli could catch only those errors.
