refactor(@angular/build): move Angular compilation creation to build execution

The creation of the internal Angular compilation used by the internal esbuild
plugin is now created within the main execution phase of the build process.
This is causes no behavior changes but provides the infrastructure for several
addition refactoring improvements including performance improvements of the
HMR process. The private API for the `createCompilerPlugin` has kept its
function signature and currently is not affected by this change.
