fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): improve file watching on Windows when using certain IDEs

This commit, fixes a file watching issue where file changes events are not triggered when using IDEs like Visual Studio (not VS Code).

The main changes to solve the issue are;

## Replace `watcher.on('all')` with `watcher.on(`raw`)`
The former does not fire for all events example

```
watcher.on('raw')
Change 1
rename | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'
rename | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'
change | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'

Change 2
rename | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'
rename | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'
change | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'

Change 3
rename | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'
rename | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'
change | 'C:/../src/app/app.component.css'

watcher.on('all')
Change 1
change | 'C:\\..\\src\\app\\app.component.css'

Change 2
unlink | 'C:\\..\\src\\app\\app.component.css'

Change 3
... (Nothing)
```

## Handle `rename` events
Some IDEs will fire a rename event instead of unlink/changed when a file is modified}

Closes angular#26437
