fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): ensure correct web worker URL res…

…olution in vite dev server

When using the application builder with the development server, Web Worker URLs previously may
have been incorrectly resolved. This caused Vite to consider the Web Worker URLs as outside
the project root and generate a special file system URL. While this worked on Mac/Linux, it
would fail on Windows. Since Vite does not appear to support resolve plugins for Web Workers,
the virtual project root for the in-memory build has now been adjusted to allow the referencing
file to have a path that resolves the Web Worker URL to a project relative location.

(cherry picked from commit 09682e5)
