getProjects is missing tags data for the root project

[tetarchus]

Current Behavior

Running getProjects from nx/src/devkit-exports or @nx/devkit ignores any defined tags in the nx property of a package.json file (including at root), as well as any targets from npm scripts, including properties such as dependsOn defined within the nx.targets key of the package.json file.

Expected Behavior

The output ProjectConfiguration includes tags and targets defined in the nx object from the package.json file, or in the targets from scripts.

Steps to Reproduce

Repro is as basic as possible to reproduce output

1. Clone repro and install dependencies

2. Run nx project @nx-root-repro/source --web or nx project www --web

3. Displayed tags matches those defined in the relevant package.json file:
   

4. Run nx check (simply runs a small .js file that calls getProjects on the cwd tree)

5. Output does not include the tags, the inferred Project Type of library, or any targets (from scripts, or with data from targets key in the nx section of package.json:

Map(2) {
  'www' => { root: 'apps/www', name: 'www' },
  '@nx-root-repro/source' => { root: '.', name: '@nx-root-repro/source' }
}

Additional Information

It seems that regardless of the content of the nx key in package.json, the output ProjectConfiguration for the root project only ever contains its name, and the root of ..

Having the tags and targets data returned (as well as other 'accepted' properties, which according to IDE autocompletion, include ignore, implicitDependencies and namedInputs) would allow utilising the root project in the same way as other projects (e.g - filtering the projects based on tags).
