refactor(@angular/cli): remove resolve dependency and use native require.resolve

This commit removes the `resolve` dependency from `@angular/cli` and replaces its usage with native `require.resolve` via `createRequire`.
The `findPackageJson` utility is now only used in migration-only scenarios where the Node.js module caching behavior that prompted the original use of `resolve` is no longer a concern.
This reduces the package dependency footprint.
