feat(@angular-devkit/build-angular): support basic web worker bundlin…

…g with esbuild builders

When using the esbuild-based builders (`application`/`browser`), Web Workers that use the supported
syntax will now be bundled. The bundling process currently uses an additional synchronous internal
esbuild execution. The execution must be synchronous due to the usage within a TypeScript transformer.
TypeScript's compilation process is fully synchronous. The bundling itself currently does not provide
all the features of the Webpack-based builder. The following limitations are present in the current
implementation but will be addressed in upcoming changes:
* Worker code is not type-checked
* Nested workers are not supported
