Description

### Describe the bug

Hello,

It's not a best practice but in a few use cases we need to copy non-Typescript files when building a project.
For this reason with TypeScript we have the option to use --copy-resources with LB Build package.

lb-tsc --copy-resources

Although from loopback/build v9.0.10 non-TypeScript files are not copied. This breaks the code in some scenarios as files are not found.

PS: I will try to find a time to figure out the root cause but if anyone has any idea please let us know.

BR,
Harshal

Research direction

Start with the lb-tsc entry point in @loopback/build and trace handling of the --copy-resources flag. Reproduce the reported behavior with a project containing non-TypeScript files, then verify that those resources are copied during the build.
