Subject: [PATCH] refactor(@angular/cli): streamline version command package
 reporting

The `ng version` command no longer checks for CLI-only dependencies. Since these dependencies are pinned, they will always match the CLI's version. This change streamlines the output and makes it less confusing for users by focusing only on their workspace versions.
