The current ngcc lock-file strategy spawns a new process in order to capture a potential `SIGINT` and remove the lock-file. For more information see #35861. Previously, this unlocker process was spawned as soon as the `LockFile` was instantiated in order to have it available as soon as possible (given that spawning a process is an asynchronous operation). Since the `LockFile` was instantiated and passed to the `Executor`, this meant that an unlocker process was spawned for each cluster worker, when running ngcc in parallel mode. These processes were not needed, since the `LockFile` was not used in cluster workers, but we still had to pay the overhead of each process' own memory and V8 instance. (NOTE: This overhead was small compared to the memory consumed by ngcc's normal operations, but still unnecessary.) This commit avoids the extra processes by only spawning an unlocker process when running on the cluster master process and not on worker processes. PR Close #36569
