perf(@angular-devkit/build-angular): use Uint8Arrays for incremental caching with esbuild-based builder

When using the experimental esbuild-based browser application builder in watch mode, the in-memory
incremental caching will now use Uint8Arrays where possible to limit the amount of encoding needed
when passing data to esbuild. When passing a string to esbuild, it must encode the string prior to
sending it. By providing the pre-encoded data from the in-memory cache, this step can be skipped
for rebuilds of input files that have not changed.

(cherry picked from commit 2adeb6f)
