fix(core): do not load transpiler when within tsx environment

[JamesHenry]

Current Behavior

If a user writes a custom script which wraps Nx (e.g. for nx release using our programmatic API) they may want to write it using TypeScript. If so, tsx (https://tsx.is) is becoming a more and more popular choice for invoking such a script because it supports a ton of different file and module combinations with zero config.

If a user invokes their script with tsx it is already priming node to be able to resolve TypeScript files and ESM files (and the combination of the two, .mts files). Therefore if we perform our usual register logic in this case and further add swc or ts-node into the mix, it causes conflicts in the node environment leading to hard to understand/troubleshoot errors such as:

[ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME]: The URL must be of scheme file
    at fileURLToPath (node:internal/url:1461:11)
    at finalizeResolution (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:266:42)

    at ModuleLoader.getModuleJob (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:234:38) {
  code: 'ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME'
}

Expected Behavior

We detect when the current node process has been invoked via tsx and make our register logic a noop because everything in subsequent require/import calls should just work thanks to tsx.
