fix(@schematics/angular): avoid empty polyfill option for new zoneless application

clydin · clydin · commit c557a19ef4ee · 2025-04-30T11:25:21.000-04:00
To reduce the size of the initial `angular.json` for applications, newly
generated zoneless applications will no longer contain an explicit empty
`polyfills` option. The option can still be added and is available for use
if needed by an application but the empty array value will no longer be
present when generating a zoneless application.
This has no effect for applications using Zone.js (default).
