Setup-PHP will normally "gracefully" show a warning and not fail the build when an extension or tool failed to install.

In most cases, this is not particularly useful as that means that either there will be a failure later on in the build due to the extension or tool missing, or the build will not be representative of what is supposed to be run/tested.

This commit changes this behaviour to fail the build at the setup-php step, which also makes debugging these type of build failures much more straight-forward.
