fix(core): prevent graph output from being truncated (#23446)

<!-- Please make sure you have read the submission guidelines before
posting an PR -->
<!--
https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#-submitting-a-pr
-->

<!-- Please make sure that your commit message follows our format -->
<!-- Example: `fix(nx): must begin with lowercase` -->

## Current Behavior
--graph stdout and --file stdout aren't documented. When printing graph
to stdout, its possible for some output to get missed.

## Expected Behavior
Existing flags are documented, and `--print` is more discoverable. We
await stdout finishing before exiting the program.

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

Fixes #18689
