"nx migrate" mangles binary files

[potch]

Current Behavior

When running nx migrate and applying migrations, the migration scripts changed hundreds of binary files across our monorepo, corrupting them

Expected Behavior

nx migrate operates on an allowList principle, and does not modify files it does not understand.

Steps to Reproduce

1. starting with an nx@15 repository containing binary files: extensions include .als, .pkg, .npy, .plist

I'm happy to submit additions to the extension list, but I'd much prefer the logic be fully inverted, and nx only act on file extensions on an allowlist vs the current "list of files to leave alone"- for instance, we have binaries checked in without extensions.

Hey @potch! I'm going to go ahead and close this out with the added binary extensions being merged. Most migrations shouldn't hit every arbitrary file, so this was likely a one-time fix and we will re-evaluate if we need to do a similar mass update in the future.
