For some reason (possibly related to async/await promises) the ngcc process is not exiting when spawned from the CLI when there has been an error (such as when it timesout waiting for a lockfile to become free). Calling `process.exit()` directly fixes this. Fixes #36616 PR Close #36622
Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)
This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which
appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.
This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.
