Subject: [PATCH] build: use genrule for best practices copy

Replaces `copy_file` with `genrule` in `packages/schematics/angular/BUILD.bazel` to depend explicitly on `//:node_modules/@angular/core/dir`.

When `@angular/core` is linked as a directory tree artifact, referencing an internal file label directly without depending on the directory artifact causes Bazel's sandbox not to stage `@angular/core` into the sandbox, failing with `cp: cannot stat 'node_modules/@angular/core/resources/best-practices.md'`.
