Description

### Command

test

### Description

The `unit-test` builder does not provide a way to use the `--changed` vitest option: https://vitest.dev/guide/cli.html#changed. This will analyze the import graph and only run tests affected by a change, which is useful for running a subset of the test suite for pull requests. This option is not available through the vitest configuration file.

### Describe the solution you'd like

Add a `changed: ` option to the `unit-test` builder options which passes `--changed ` to the vitest runner.

### Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't think there are any good workarounds. Using `@analogjs/vitest-angular` exposes vitest directly, but requires more setup and is not an "official" package.

Research direction

Start at the unit-test builder options and trace how they are passed to the Vitest runner. Verify that a changed string option forwards --changed and that the relevant builder tests cover the resulting command.
