fix(js): avoid nested paths in workspaces because they can lead to future issues (#29553)
For the new TS setup, we currently use nested glob patterns: `apps/**`,
`libs/**`, and `packages/**`.

Nested paths can result into too many projects being matched. For
example, if `libs/mylib/src/__fixtures__/package.json` is there for
testing, it will be matched as a project and likely result in an error.

Other tools like turborepo also caution against this:
https://turbo.build/repo/docs/crafting-your-repository/structuring-a-repository#declaring-directories-for-packages

If users want to, they could change to nested `**` paths, but we should
not use it by default.

Note: For CNW, we only use `apps/*` by default since that is where the
project lives. When users do `nx g lib packages/foo` then `packages/*`
will be added automatically.

<!-- 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 -->
Use nested `**` paths.

## Expected Behavior
<!-- This is the behavior we should expect with the changes in this PR
-->
Don't use nested `**` paths.

## Related Issue(s)
<!-- Please link the issue being fixed so it gets closed when this is
