doc: improve documentation for util.types.isNativeError()

Makes clear what a native error is by linking the spec. Explains that
`instanceof Error` and util.types.isNativeError() are not equivalent.
Give examples for objects that are `instance of Error` but not native
errors and vice versa. Recommends checking for both if one wants to find
out if something is an error.

-Returns `true` if the value is an instance of a built-in [`Error`][] type.
+Returns `true` if the value was returned by the constructor of a
+[built-in `Error` type][].
 
 ```js
-util.types.isNativeError(new Error());  // Returns true
-util.types.isNativeError(new TypeError());  // Returns true
-util.types.isNativeError(new RangeError());  // Returns true
+console.log(util.types.isNativeError(new Error()));  // true
+console.log(util.types.isNativeError(new TypeError()));  // true
+console.log(util.types.isNativeError(new RangeError()));  // true

+
+Subclasses of the native error types are also native errors:
+
+```js
+class MyError extends Error {}
+console.log(util.types.isNativeError(new MyError()));  // true
+```
+
+A value being `instanceof` a native error class is not equivalent to `isNativeError()`
+returning `true` for that value. `isNativeError()` returns `true` for errors
+which come from a different [realm][] while `instanceof Error` returns `false`
+for these errors:
+
+```js
+const vm = require('node:vm');
+const context = vm.createContext({});
+const myError = vm.runInContext('new Error', context);
+console.log(util.types.isNativeError(myError)); // true
+console.log(myError instanceof Error); // false
+```
+
+Conversely, `isNativeError()` returns `false` for all objects which were not
+returned by the constructor of a native error. That includes values
+which are `instanceof` native errors:
+
+```js
+const myError = { __proto__: Error.prototype };
+console.log(util.types.isNativeError(myError)); // false
+console.log(myError instanceof Error); // true
 ```
