fix(@angular-devkit/build-angular): ensure Sass worker implementation supports Node.js 12.14

The Worker constructor option for a transfer list is unfortunately not supported until Node.js 12.17. For Node.js versions prior to 12.17, a manual message post is now used to transfer the necessary initialization data to the Sass workers.

(cherry picked from commit 4dc7cf9)
