Generators don't work when using pnpm catalogs

[comp615]

Current Behavior

Running the example code:
nx g plugin my-plugin --directory=libs --importPath=@squareup/my-plugin

yields:
Error: The package.json lists a version of typescript that Nx is unable to validate - (catalog:)

This is because the generators use a check of the TS version which simply gets the entry from package.json and does not resolve catalogs from pnpm:

nx/packages/js/src/generators/init/init.ts

Line 34 in e0c49d3

async function getInstalledTypescriptVersion(

Expected Behavior

A helper should be employed in the various places NX tries to resolve a version string from the package.json to resolve the "real" version using pnpm for checks like this to enable fuller support for pnpm as the package manager.
