fix(ivy): ngcc should not fail on invalid package.json (#26539)

Some package.json files may have invalid JSON, for example package.json blueprints from `@schematics/angular` (see https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/packages/schematics/angular/workspace/files/package.json).

This makes ngcc more resilient, by simpling logging a warning if an error is encountered, instead of failing as it does right now.
