fix(js): generate js libs with exports in package.json and ensure esm output when using rollup bundler (#29565)

- Ensure libs are generated with `exports` in `package.json`
- Generate `types` instead of `typings` in package.json
- Update js lib with rollup to only output esm
- Update `tsconfig.spec.json` for js libraries with rollup to set
`module: esnext` and `moduleResolution: bundler` (they use `@swc/jest`)
- Fix `@nx/js/typescript` issue with absolute paths when normalizing
inputs/outputs
- Fix `@nx/js/typescript` issue identifying buildable libs
- Fix express app generator not installing `@types/express`
