Previously, when an entry-point contained code that caused its compilation to fail, ngcc would exit in the middle of processing, possibly leaving other entry-points in a corrupt state. This change adds a new `errorOnFailedEntryPoint` option to `mainNgcc` that specifies whether ngcc should exit immediately or log an error and continue processing other entry-points. The default is `false` so that ngcc will not error but continue processing as much as possible. This is useful in post-install hooks, and async CLI integration, where we do not have as much control over which entry-points should be processed. The option is forced to true if the `targetEntryPointPath` is provided, such as the sync integration with the CLI, since in that case it is targeting an entry-point that will actually be used in the current project so we do want ngcc to exit with an error at that point.

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.
