refactor(@angular-devkit/build-angular): allow development server `bu…

…ildTarget` option to be optional

The development server (`dev-server`) within `@angular-devkit/build-angular` no longer
requires a `buildTarget` option to be specified. If not present, the value
will default to the current project's 'build' target. The configuration used
for the build target will be the same as the development server configuration
if specified or, if not specified, it will default to `development`.
