Vite dev server crashes if error is introduced in vite.config.js

[Rich-Harris]

Describe the bug

If you run vite dev then introduce a syntax error in vite.config.js, the dev server tries and fails to restart, and the process crashes.

Ideally the process would stay alive, and gracefully recover once the error is fixed. Even better would be if the server survived, if only to report the error, though that's probably somewhat trickier.
