feat(core): add spinners when graph compute takes long time (#28966)

<!-- If this is a particularly complex change or feature addition, you
can request a dedicated Nx release for this pull request branch. Mention
someone from the Nx team or the `@nrwl/nx-pipelines-reviewers` and they
will confirm if the PR warrants its own release for testing purposes,
and generate it for you if appropriate. -->

Sometimes graph computation can take longer than may be expected. In
these cases we can show a spinner, and if only one plugin is still
running **and the daemon is disabled** also show the plugin names.
