fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): remove double-watch in karma

The Karma file watching was racing with the file writes done by the
application builder. Since we already tell Karma when to reun via
`.refeshFiles()`, disabling Karma's own file watcher should make
things more reliable.

This allows removing a weird special-case in the test case and
removes the noisy "File chaned" logs generated by Karma.

Fixes https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/28755
