Dependencies that are executed as a sub-command are not detected.

When using knip to detect unused cli commands following example would detect esbuild as correctly being used:

# package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build:esbuild": "esbuild src/index.ts --outdir=build",
  }
}

➜ pnpm knip         
Unused dependencies (2)
eslint              package.json
eslint-config-next  package.json

But when invoking this command with nx to enable caching, knip lists esbuild as unused dependency:

# package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "build:esbuild": "nx exec -- esbuild src/index.ts --outdir=build",
  }
}

➜ pnpm knip
Unused dependencies (2)
eslint              package.json
eslint-config-next  package.json

Unused devDependencies (1)
esbuild  package.json

Thanks @ChiefORZ, added the Nx binary resolver.
