fix(core): improve the dx of the sync commands and gracefully handle …

…exiting the prompt when running tasks (#27418)

- Update the `nx sync` output when there are changes to sync (currently
there's no output)
- Update the `nx sync` and `nx sync:check` output when there are no
changes to sync (currently there's no output)
- Handle exiting the prompt for applying sync generator changes when
running tasks
