i18n support in Angular libraries

Reproduce the issue in the linked lib-i18n-issue project with npm install and ng xi18n my-lib. Start by reading @angular-devkit/build-angular/src/extract-i18n/index.js and the referenced common.js path in the stack trace. Done means xi18n accepts a library project and extracts its i18n messages without the target or path errors.

• new
• build
• serve
• test
• e2e

Is this a regression?

No. Related functionaliy only available with new i18n capabilities of angular 9.

Description

I want to use ng xi18n command to extract messages for i18n tags which are part of a library project which is part of a monrepo setup created by the cli. According to docs at

https://angular.io/cli/xi18n this is supposed to be possible

ng xi18n <project>
<project> The name of the project to build. Can be an application or a library.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

1. create project: ng new lib-i18n
2. add localize: ng add @angular/localize
3. generate library: ng g library my-lib
4. add i18n attribute in my-lib.component.ts

   <p i18n>
     my-lib works!
   </p>
   

5. run ng xi18n my-lib: Result will be
   An unhandled exception occurred: Project 'my-lib' does not support the 'extract-i18n' target.
   After adding corresponding extract-i18n target in angular.json, error output as below.

I created a minimal demo project which incorporates the scenario describe above. It is located here:
https://github.com/multimike77/lib-i18n-issue

Checkout and run npm install. Then run ng xi18n my-lib and it should produce error as below.
