Previously, when we needed to detect whether a file is external to a
package, we only checked whether the relative path to the file from the
package's root started with `..`. This would detect external imports
when the packages were siblings (e.g. peer dependencies or hoisted to
the top of `node_modules/` by the package manager), but would fail to
detect imports from packages located in nested `node_modules/` as
external. For example, importing `node_modules/foo/node_modules/bar`
from a file in `node_modules/foo/` would be considered internal to the
`foo` package.
This could result in processing/analyzing more files than necessary.
More importantly it could lead to errors due to trying to analyze
non-Angular packages that were direct dependencies of Angular packages.
This commit fixes it by also verifying that the relative path to a file
does not start with `node_modules/`.

Our module resolution prefers `.js` files over `.d.ts` files because
occasionally libraries publish their typings in the same directory
structure as the compiled JS files, i.e. adjacent to each other.
The standard TS module resolution would pick up the typings
file and add that to the `ts.Program` and so they would be
ignored by our analyzers. But we need those JS files, if they
are part of the current package.
But this meant that we also bring in JS files from external
imports from outside the package, which is not desired.
This was happening for the `@fire/storage` enty-point
that was importing the `firebase/storage` path.
In this commit we solve this problem, for the case of imports
coming from a completely different package, by saying that any
file that is outside the package root directory must be an external
import and so we do not analyze those files.
This does not solve the potential problem of imports between
secondary entry-points within a package but so far that does
not appear to be a problem.
