Previously, when the last worker process crashed, the master process would try to re-spawn it indefinitely. This could lead to an infinite loop (if for some reason the worker process kept crashing). This commit avoids this by limiting the number of re-spawn attempts to 3, after which ngcc will exit with an error. PR Close #36626
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.
