fix(@angular/cli): handle array output from npm view in manifest parser

This commit updates `parseNpmLikeManifest` to correctly handle the output of `npm view` (and compatible commands) when a version range is specified. In such cases, `npm view --json` returns an array of manifests. The parser now returns the last element of the array, which corresponds to the latest version satisfying the range, preventing issues in `ng update` and other commands that rely on version checks.
