Subject: [PATCH] fix(@angular/build): fallback to build target
 preserveSymlinks option in karma runner

When running unit tests with karma, the `preserveSymlinks` option was only read from the unit test builder options which is always undefined, as `unitTestOptions.preserveSymlinks` is only configured for non standalone runners.
