Subject: [PATCH] fix(core): run init generators from extended collections
 during nx add (#30280)

<!-- If this is a particularly complex change or feature addition, you
can request a dedicated Nx release for this pull request branch. Mention
someone from the Nx team or the `@nrwl/nx-pipelines-reviewers` and they
will confirm if the PR warrants its own release for testing purposes,
and generate it for you if appropriate. -->

## Current Behavior
<!-- This is the behavior we have today -->

When the `init` generator is in an extended collection, `nx add` will
not run it.

## Expected Behavior
<!-- This is the behavior we should expect with the changes in this PR
-->

When the `init` generator is in an extended collection, `nx add` will
run it.
