refactor(@angular-devkit/core): update missing workspace file error to explicitly call out angular.json

dgp1130 · alan-agius4 · commit c43c4e97110f · 2021-12-11T09:20:18.000+01:00
Internally, we've gotten a lot of bugs of users running the CLI in the wrong directory and not understanding this error. Hopefully calling this out more explicitly will key users to double-check their working directory before filing a bug. (cherry picked from commit f9187bc)
