Code Review

This pull request refactors the Angular CLI formatting utility to support both oxfmt and prettier as formatters, renaming the utility file and updating imports and tests accordingly. The review feedback suggests improving robustness and performance by caching the resolved formatter path at the module level to avoid redundant disk I/O. Additionally, it points out that the --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern flag should only be passed to prettier, as oxfmt uses strict argument parsing and will fail if an unknown option is provided.

Thanks for working on this! Left a few comments regarding formatter precedence, caching during ng update, and E2E test cleanup.
