feat(dev-infra): write outputs of command runs to ng-dev log file (#38599)

Creates infrastructure to write outputs of command runs to ng-dev log file.
Additionally, on commands which fail with an exit code greater than 1, an
error log file is created with the posix timestamp of the commands run time
as an identifier.
