fix: remove broken build:watch script from 20 packages (#1501)

build:watch ran `pnpm run build --watch`, but every affected package's
build script uses gasket-cjs, which has no --watch support and exits
with `error: unknown option '--watch'` on every invocation. Same root
cause fixed for the internal fork's equivalent packages in
gdcorp-uxp/gasket#2298. Tracked in PFX-1184.

+Remove the `build:watch` script from these 20 packages. Each one's `build` script runs `gasket-cjs`, and `build:watch` was `pnpm run build --watch` — but `gasket-cjs` (a Commander CLI) has no `--watch` support and exits with `error: unknown option '--watch'` on every invocation. The script has never worked since these packages moved to `gasket-cjs`; removing it rather than reintroducing watch mode, since no consumer of `gasket-cjs` currently supports it (tracked in PFX-1184, same root cause fixed for the internal fork's equivalent packages in gdcorp-uxp/gasket#2298).
