fix(@angular/build): watchers outside the workspace via parcel didn't…

… work The `dirKey` entry in `this.pendingSubscriptions` caused the following `if` to never be true, as `this.isCoveredByExistingExternal(dirKey)` is always true as long as `dirKey` is in there. But at this point it isn't pending anymore, as we just `await`ed it the LoC prior. This bug caused the `else` to always run, which did `sub.unsubscribe()`, which killed the just spawned watcher. The effect was that a directory outside the workspace wasn't watched anymore. E.g. this structure: ``` apps/my-angular-app libs/my-angular-sdk node_modules/@my/sdk => symlink to libs/my-angular-sdk ``` When you ran `ng serve` in `apps/my-angular-app` (which has imports to `@my/sdk`) and made a change in `libs/my-angular-sdk`, then the watcher didn't rebuild (which it did before in 21.x).
