This PR fixes and issue where the standard `output.clean` option is
ignored and replaced by the Nx-specific `deleteOutputPath` option on the
`NxAppWebpackPlugin` and `NxAppRspackPlugin` plugins.
We want to allow users to use standards over our own features, so if we
see that `output.clean` is set in webpack/rspack config, then we use
that value.
For example, an Rspack config could be:
```js
const { NxAppRspackPlugin } = require("@nx/rspack/app-plugin");
const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
output: {
path: join(__dirname, "dist/demo"),
clean: false, // <-- THIS DOES NOT WORK!
},
plugins: [
new NxAppRspackPlugin({
// ...
}),
],
};
```
But even though `output.clean` is `false`, each build will still delete
`dist`. The only way to disable that behavior is to use the Nx-specific
option like this:
```js
const { NxAppRspackPlugin } = require("@nx/rspack/app-plugin");
const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
output: {
path: join(__dirname, "dist/demo"),
},
plugins: [
new NxAppRspackPlugin({
deleteOutputPath: false,
// ...
}),
],
};
```
## Current Behavior
Setting `output.clean` in Webpack/Rspack config does nothing, and we
always default our own `deleteOutputPath` to `true`.
## Expected Behavior
Setting `output.clean` standard option is respected.
