Describe the bug / error

Related to #9675 as @AJIXuMuK asked to open a separated issue.

Errors during bundle say [object Object] as opposed to display the error message.

Note that the errors were displaying correctly in SPFx 1.18

Steps to reproduce

1. Get SPFx 1.19 using yeoman
2. Remove the assets folder to force an error during bundle
3. Run gulp clean
4. Run gulp bundle --ship
5. Note the messages in the terminal

Expected behavior

The error messages should be as descriptive as possible.

Hello,

FYI I tried to bundle a project with @microsoft/sp-build-web version 1.20.2 (released two days ago) and Webpack errors are now displayed correctly.

with @microsoft/sp-build-web@1.20.1:

with @microsoft/sp-build-web@1.20.2:

Can you confirm that it's ok on your side after updating the package version?

Thanks @michaelmaillot , I can confirm @microsoft/sp-build-web@1.20.2 is displaying errors
