refactor(schematics): avoid typescript version conflicts (#12989)

The Angular Material schematics parse TypeScript sources files and pass the AST to the `@schematics/angular` package which defined an explicit dependency on `typescript`. Since we currently just always require the flattened `typescript` dependency (`node_modules/typescript`), there could be either no TypeScript version or a different TypeScript version that causes the AST operations of the `@schematics/angular` utility functions to not work properly (e.g. different `SyntaxKind` ids)

We should primarily try to load the same TypeScript version that has been shipped with the `@schematics/angular`. If that one couldn't be found, fall back to the top level `typescript` version.

Includes workaround for Bazel ts module resolution
