Description

When updating a current project to Angular 18 RC the ng update command suggest to update @angular/build which is new and not present in the project and consecutively fails if attempted.

The working command to run is still ng update @angular/cli --next instead, but the suggestion is wrong due to the new group name since @angular/build has been added as first it now shows up as the group name: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/c79a513a766383a5eac44acfbb8ac3aab10bbfc4/packages/angular/cli/package.json#L45-L47

Not sure what the end goal of the new package is, but assuming the CLI is not going away - perhaps move it back up on to the group so the updates still go though it?

Minimal Reproduction

1. create a fresh project with ng new
2. run ng update --next and inspect listed commends
3. attempt to run ng update @angular/build --next as suggested

First reproduced here https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-angular/pull/14237 but also tested on a completely fresh app so pretty sure it'll repro on any existing project.
