fix(@angular/build): update critical CSS inlining to support autoCsp

This update improves the handling of inlined critical CSS to align with `autoCsp`, ensuring compliance with Content Security Policy (CSP) directives. Previously, inlined styles could trigger CSP violations in certain configurations. With this fix, critical CSS is inlined in a way that maintains security while supporting `autoCsp`.

Closes #29603
