Using 'createGlobPatternsForDependencies' in tailwind.config.ts does not resolve {projectRoot} token

[PPan1215]

Current Behavior

We are using tailwindcss in our nx projects, and the project.json file looks like below:

{
  "implicitDependencies": ["lib1", "lib2"],
  "name": "app1",
  "projectType": "application",
  "sourceRoot": "{projectRoot}/src", <- here
  "tags": [],
  "targets": {
   }
...
}

When we are configuring tailwind using createGlobPatternsForDependencies

import { createGlobPatternsForDependencies } from "@nx/react/tailwind"
import type { Config } from "tailwindcss"

export default {
  content: [
    join(__dirname, "src/**/*!(*.stories|*.spec|*.test).{ts,tsx,html}"),
    ...createGlobPatternsForDependencies(__dirname),
  ],
...
}

It throws an error:

WARNING: There was an error creating glob patterns, returning an empty array
createGlobPatternsForDependencies: Error when generating globs.
ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/path/to/nx/{projectRoot}'

Expected Behavior

When sourceRoot in project.json file is {projectRoot} token, it should resolve to its correct path.

Steps to Reproduce

You can simply replace sourceRoot with {projectRoot}/src in this example, and then use createGlobPatternsForDependencies from "@nx/react/tailwind" it should error out.

The sourceRoot here has simply read a plain text without being parsed.
