Support no fail on empty lint run

[aovens-quantifi]

• I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Description

Currently @nx/eslint:lint throws an error when no files are found to lint (or all found files are ignored). I would like to have the option to suppress this error in order to support partial linting in CI. My goal is to pass all of the files changed in the PR to lintFilePatterns. I don't want to have to curate the list or conditionally run the task, I would simply like the lint executor to figure out what to lint and succeed if there are no files found.

Motivation

This would be a significant performance improvement on my large repo, only linting files that have changed

Suggested Implementation

Add an option to the executor: errorOnUnmatchedPattern (ESlint has a similar CLI flag: --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern) that defaults to true. Use this option to protect the throws

Alternate Implementations

I can't think of an alternative
