feat(core): add NX_PROJECT_ROOT environment variable to runtime cache inputs

Adds NX_PROJECT_ROOT environment variable to runtime cache input commands,
allowing project-aware cache inputs for more granular caching strategies.

- Extract project name from task_id during runtime hash instruction processing
- Inject NX_PROJECT_ROOT environment variable with project root path
- Maintain backwards compatibility with existing runtime cache inputs
- Add comprehensive test coverage for the new functionality
