fix(angular): keep extra target metadata when needed in convert-to-rspack generator

[leosvelperez]

Current Behavior

When converting an Angular project to use Rspack with the @nx/angular:convert-to-rspack generator, some target top-level options can be lost (e.g. custom dependsOn, outputs, etc.).

Expected Behavior

When converting an Angular project to use Rspack with the @nx/angular:convert-to-rspack generator, relevant target top-level options that wouldn't be inferred need to be kept in the converted project.

Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes conversion issues when migrating Angular projects to Rspack by preserving extra target metadata such as custom dependsOn, outputs, and other options that would otherwise be lost. Key changes include reordering and adding new imports, consolidating target removal into a single targetsToRemove array, and enhancing the logic to selectively override or preserve build and serve target configurations.

• [nitpick] The logic for overriding target inputs appears duplicated with similar patterns later in the file; extracting this into a helper function might improve readability and reduce potential maintenance issues.

buildTarget.config.inputs = [ ...buildTarget.config.inputs, { externalDependencies: ['@rspack/cli'] } ];
