Issue:
AWS Invoke Local handleError function does not return stack trace, just errorMessage and errorType
# This is a Bug Report

## Description

When using the `invoke local` command with an AWS Serverless project, when you get an error there is no stack trace.

**What does happen:**

```
$ node_modules/.bin/serverless invoke local -s dev -l --function testError
{
    "errorMessage": "Whoops",
    "errorType": "Error"
}
````

It would be preferable to have a stack trace, so you can figure out where your error is. 

**What should happen:**

```
{
    "errorMessage": "Whoops",
    "errorType": "Error",
    "stackTrace": [
        "Error: Whoops",
        "    at exports.testError (/home/test/data-etl/active/simpleTest.js:3:11)",
        "    at Promise (/home/test/data-etl/active/node_modules/serverless/lib/plugins/aws/invokeLocal/index.js:399:30)",

        "    at Immediate.Async.drainQueues (/home/test/data-etl/active/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/async.js:17:14)",
        "    at runCallback (timers.js:763:18)",
        "    at tryOnImmediate (timers.js:734:5)",
        "    at processImmediate (timers.js:716:5)",
        "    at process.topLevelDomainCallback (domain.js:102:23)"
    ]
}
```

The file that catches the errors and outputs the message appears to be this one:
`/serverless/lib/plugins/aws/invokeLocal/index.js`

I would add that I am invoking a node 8.10 async handler function:
```
exports.testError = async function(data, lambdaContext) {
    throw new Error('Whoops')
    return 'test'
};
```

I have tested with Webpack and Babel removed, so they are not a factor here. It's just the AWS invokeLocal error handler.

Similar or dependent issues:
* #4309 - seems like the same bug, but there was confusion about Webpack being involved so it was closed (Webpack is in fact not involved)
