Description
### Issue Description
I inserted a fatal exception [here](https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/blob/master/src/Build/Evaluation/LazyItemEvaluator.cs#L358), and it printed "build failed 0 warnings 0 errors" when I tried to build with it.
### Expected Behavior
Better error message.

Research direction
Start in src/Build/Evaluation/LazyItemEvaluator.cs around line 358 and reproduce the fatal-exception build described in the issue. Trace how that failure reaches the build summary; done means the failure produces a useful error message instead of reporting 0 warnings and 0 errors.
