`.unique()`: Better error logging

Could the Convex error log Uncaught Error: unique() query returned more than one result indicate the id of a document found not to be unique? Would help us in easily identifying and correcting erroneous data! 🙂

For example, in the implementation of .unique()in convex/src/server/impl/query_impl.ts, print the _ids of the two elements returned returned? Something along the lines of:

    if (first_two_array.length === 2) {
      throw new Error(`unique() query returned more than one result. First pair of results: ${first_two_array[0]._id}, ${first_two_array[1]._id}`);
    }

    if (first_two_array.length === 2) {
      throw new Error(`unique() query returned more than one result. First pair of results: ${first_two_array[0]._id}, ${first_two_array[1]._id}`);
    }
