Subject: [PATCH] fix(@angular/cli): gracefully handle package manager errors
 in command handler

Catch `PackageManagerError` in the global `CommandModule` handler and gracefully log the installation failure message along with the process output (stdout/stderr) using `logger.fatal`.

This ensures that any package manager error thrown during the execution of a command is reported cleanly to the terminal and sets the exit code to 1.
