feat(misc): allow providing a path in the name option of project generators

[leosvelperez]

Current Behavior

Providing a path in the name option of project generators is not handled for the as-provided project name and root format. The path is used as-is as the name and that causes issues with the path separators.

Expected Behavior

Providing the path in the name option of project generators is handled when using the as-provided project name and root format. When a path is provided, the generators will perform the following:

• The last segment of the path will be the project name, or if the path includes a @, the generator will assume a scoped package name was provided and the name will be scoped package name
• The full provided path will be the project root

Examples:

nx g lib libs/lib1
# generates a project with name "lib1" at "libs/lib1"

nx g lib libs/@acme/lib1
# generates a project with name "@acme/lib1" at "libs/@acme/lib1"
