Fix `_targetClass` on scope function when using hasManyThrough
relation with customized relation names and foreignKey/keyThrough.
This bug is cause by `_targetClass` uses the camel-case of
`relationName`(e.g.: if `relationName` is `bbb`, `targetClass`
would be `Bbb`), which is not exists.
This will also suppress "not exposed" warnings when generating
angular sdk, and generate end-points for this scope.
* Fixes#1275 Transform *fields* property into array
`Include` filter takes into consideration string property
'fields' and transforms it into an array containing this string.
* Added error handling for `include` filter.
* ExecTasksWithInterLeave now contains a try-catch block
in order to catch any unexpected errors.
* LinkManyToMany now checks if *modelToIdName* exists on
*target* before continuing.
* Added unit test for *include* with string fields
Before this change, when resolving full connector path, all errors were
ignored. As a result, when the connector was installed but not
correctly built (e.g. loopback-connector-db2 which uses a native addon),
a very confusing message was reported by LoopBack.
In this commit, I am fixing the code handling `require()` errors
to ignore only MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors that contain the name
of the required module.
