Missing Compiler Errors when using Typescript Project References

[berickson1]

Expected Behaviour

ts-loader warns about all typescript compiler errors on first run

Actual Behaviour

errors for composite projects are ignored when re-running webpack

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Have a working & building typescript project that uses composite projects
2. Stop webpack
3. Introduce a compiler error into one of the composite projects
4. Run Webpack

At this point I'd expect an error, but the build reports as successful and emits without issue

Location of a Minimal Repository that Demonstrates the Issue.

https://github.com/berickson1/project-references-demo

For the above:

1. run npm install
2. run npm run webpack
3. observe successful build
4. stop webpack
5. Open animals/dog.ts and uncomment line 15 to introduce a compiler error
6. run npm run webpack
7. Observe "successful" build

Note: I turned on ts-loader logging and you can see that the error is being reported during the typescript build process, but it doesn't bubble up to webpack

This will hopefully be remedied by the excellent work @sheetalkamat is doing in #1076

Looks like it did! I'm happy to report that this no longer repros on ts-loader@7.0.0.
