fix(core): prioritize nx installation path in getNxRequirePaths (#34158)

FrozenPandaz · web-flow · commit e5868964709f · 2026-01-20T18:54:08.000Z
## Current Behavior

`getNxRequirePaths` returns paths in the order `[root,
getNxInstallationPath(root)]`, which means the workspace root is checked
first when resolving modules.

## Expected Behavior

The nx installation path (`.nx/installation`) should be prioritized and
checked first before falling back to the workspace root. This ensures
that modules from the nx installation directory take precedence.
