fix(@angular/build): prevent esbuild service hang on internal component stylesheet builds

Switching to esbuild.context() + rebuild() for all builds in PR #33267 meant that all component stylesheet builds (which are separate BundlerContext instances) also created individual esbuild contexts. For builds with large amounts of stylesheets, this resulted in creating and concurrently disposing many esbuild contexts, leading to a timing deadlock/hang in the esbuild service child process.

This change adds an alwaysUseContext parameter (defaulting to false) to BundlerContext to allow the main/global bundle contexts to continue using esbuild.context() (to ensure their plugins' onDispose callbacks run), while allowing component stylesheets to safely fall back to one-shot esbuild.build() during non-incremental/one-shot builds.
