fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): default to watching project root …

…on Windows with application builder

When using the `application` or `browser-esbuild` builder in watch mode on Windows, the project root
will now be watched by default. This provides a workaround for users of Visual Studio which uses a
file save mechanism that causes the watch mode to not correctly trigger. By watching the entire
project root, this problem is avoided. However, this may result in additional rebuilds due to changes
of unrelated files in the project root.
This behavior can be disabled using the environment variable `NG_BUILD_WATCH_ROOT=0`. On non-Windows
platforms, disabled is the default.
