skipRemotes option broken due to reference to projectGraph

[Michael-Ziluck]

Current Behavior

When you run projects using the module-federation-dev-server, skipRemotes now only can detect projects that are returned from readCachedProjectGraph, effectively making it unusable.

If the projects are in a different repository and are not running (which is my use-case and is also other's use-case as well I'm sure), it won't be able to find them.

Expected Behavior

Specifying projects in skipRemotes that are not in the same repository should work perfectly fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Generate a module federation host application in a new NX repo.
2. Generate a module federation remote application in a separate NX repo.
3. Add a reference to the remote application in the host application.
4. Start the host without starting the remote, using the skipRemotes input with the remote's project name.
