fix(@angular/build): inject source-map-support for Vitest browser tests

This change ensures that `source-map-support` is injected into the setup files when running Vitest tests in a browser environment. This allows stack traces from failing tests to correctly map back to the original source files, significantly improving debugging capabilities.

A regression test has been added to `tests/vitest/browser-sourcemaps.ts` to verify that a failing test correctly identifies the source file in its stack trace.
