Is this a regression?

Yes, the previous version in which this bug was not present was: 8.3.17 or 8.3.18

Description

Running

ng update

installs the latest angular-cli into a temp directory despite the fact, that the global installed angular-cli version is already installed. Why not use the global one?

logs:

ng update
Your global Angular CLI version (8.3.19) is greater than your local
version (8.3.18). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng config -g cli.warnings.versionMismatch false".
The installed Angular CLI version is older than the latest published version.
Installing a temporary version to perform the update.
Installing packages for tooling via npm.

> node ./bin/postinstall/script.js

After that running

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core

another temp install happens.
