feat(@angular-devkit/build-angular): initial autoprefixer support for…

… CSS in esbuild builder

When using the experimental esbuild-based browser application builder, CSS stylesheets
will now be processed by the postcss autoprefixer plugin. The autoprefixer plugin will only
be used if the browsers provided by browserslist require prefixes to be added. This avoids
unnecessary stylesheet parsing and processing if no additional prefixes are needed.
Currently, only CSS stylesheets are processed. Preprocessor support including Sass and Less
will be added in a future change.
