[DOCS] Improve docs on using composer patch

[kanow]

Add note to use composer-exit-on-patch-failure to get notice about an error on patching.

Patch is OK for me, but composer-patches is currently working on Version 2.0. Current release is BETA-2, where this option is activated by default:

cweagans/composer-patches#164

Further the configuration will be renamed, because of the required configuration package: exit-on-patch-failure. With this change also the ENV var will change to: COMPOSER_PATCHES_EXIT_ON_PATCH_FAILURE.

Maybe it would be good to add a hint, that this config-variable is only for the 1.x branch of composer-patches.

With version 2 the exit-on-failor is the new default.

For version 1 the error will also be shown, but as composer still processes the other requirements, the error will be somewhere above all the other output. With exit-on-failor the composer process will stop immediately. So the Otherwise, you may not notice the error. means the error message is somewhere above all the other composer output, if this setting is not explicit activated.

Hi @kanow

thank you for providing that patch. We will take care about the update, if composer-patches releases version 2.

@kanow Thanks a lot for your first time contribution!

If possible try to make your changes on the "main" branch next time. We have an automatic workflow to backport them on the 12.4 branch for you.
