fix(@angular/cli): handle format path in invoked schematics

With this change we change the how we handle `"format": "path"` schematic property option. Previously, in version 14 this format was only being applied on parent schematics that were registered as commands. With this change we apply the formatter on all options, even those who are called programmatically using APIs like `externalSchematic`.
