Compiler errors are really ugly #58337
Description
At some point in the last few months we ended up making compiler errors much more ugly:
$ flutter create dummy_compiler_error
...
$ cd dummy_compiler_error
$ sed -i '$d' lib/main.dart
$ flutter run
Launching lib/main.dart on Lenovo TB 8504F in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...
Compiler message:
lib/main.dart:52:50: Error: Can't find '}' to match '{'.
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
^
Compiler message:

The very first error message happens very quickly. We should abort there. Instead we seem to try to compile again, and then try to do something else in gradle, not sure what.
