[MNG-5593] Plugin Errors are not handled

Description

The DefaultBuildPluginManager executes the plugin mojo and catches all kind of exceptions.

However if the plugin throws some Error, it is not catched and maven continues like everything went fine.

Shouldn't maven handle Errors and stop the build in that case?
