Change config prerender.force to prerender.onError

fixes sveltejs#1940

- Changing from `force` to `onError` gives a somewhat more descriptive
  name to the option.
- Using the strings "fail" and "continue" further clarifies what the
  option does.
- Providing your own function to deal with an error allows for
  fine-tuning which errors fail the build and which do not.

The original ticket suggested that the custom function return a boolean,
but after seeing the implementation of the error handler in svelteKit, I
thought it more fitting to just allow it the exact same API: throw if
you want the build to fail.
