This PR updates the way we detect changed packages to rely on Nx under the hood, which should always be in sync.
Previously, we hard-coded paths in the GH workflow to determine which packages have been changed, so we can make sure to run tests accordingly.

Note: For profiling-node, we still check the old way, because we want to avoid re-running this every time a dependency of profiling-node changes - because that depends on e.g. core and utils, and we don't want to/need to re-run this all the time.
