Subject: [PATCH] fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): default preserve symlinks
 to Node.js value for esbuild

When using the experimental esbuild-based browser application builder, the `preserveSymlinks`
option will now default to the value of the Node.js `--preserve-symlinks` argument. This removes
the need to manually specify the option in two places if executing the build manually with Node.js
or via the `NODE_OPTIONS` environment variable. This behavior mimics that of the default Webpack-based
builder.
