The change in e041ac6f0d8c519d104601b2b49c008721c074b7 to support sending unlocker process output to the main ngcc console output prevents messages require that the main process relinquishes the event-loop to allow the `stdout.on()` handler to run. This results in none of the messages being written when ngcc is run in `--no-async` mode, and some messages failing to be written if the main process is killed (e.g. ctrl-C). It appears that the problem with Windows and detached processes is known - see https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3596#issuecomment-250890218. But in the meantime, this commit is a workaround, where non-Windows `inherit` the main process `stdout` while on Windows it reverts to the async handler approach, which is better than nothing.

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.
