perf(@angular-devkit/build-angular): reduce babel transformation in e…

…sbuild builder

When using the experimental esbuild-based browser application builder, babel transformation
is now only performed on a file if the file requires the specific transformations enabled
for the build. This has the benefit of removing the need to parse and process files that
will not be affected by the enabled transformations.
From initial testing, this provides a 30% build time improvement for development builds of a
newly generated application and a 10% improvement for production builds.

(cherry picked from commit 3e3dc69)
