Trace Ids not added on uncaught exceptions?

When using ECSFormat with winston I don't have TraceIds (transaction.id e etc...) information in uncaught Exceptions.  
[elastic/ecs-logging-nodejs#124](https://github.com/elastic/ecs-logging-nodejs/issues/124)

```auto
import { createLogger, format, transports } from 'winston';
import ecsFormat from '@elastic/ecs-winston-format';

const consoleOptions = {
    level: 'info',
    handleExceptions: true,
    format: ecsFormat(),
};

const consoleTransport = new transports.Console(consoleOptions);

const logger = createLogger({
    exitOnError: true,
    transports: [
        consoleTransport,
    ]
});

```

INFO:

```auto
{"@timestamp":"2022-05-27T19:10:13.556Z","log.level":"info","message":"testing info with winston logger","ecs":{"version":"1.6.0"},"event":{"dataset":"example_normal.log"},"trace":{"id":"e477cd64384c8c0f78cc00787ee622d4"},"transaction":{"id":"8c9cc366b48425c0"},"service":{"name":"example_normal","environment":"local"},"test2":"test2"}

```

UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION:

```auto
