Nx doesn't use appropriate package manager for provenance check

[marcebdev]

Current Behavior

Pretty straightforward it seems nx uses npm for the provenance check when doing e.g. yarn nx migrate latest this does not align with assigning a packageManager in package.json or when you're more strictly using the newer devEngines.packageManager

Expected Behavior

The correct package manager should always be used

Steps to Reproduce

1. add something like the following to package.json

  "devEngines": {
    "packageManager": {
      "name": "yarn",
      "version": "4.15.0",
      "onFail": "error"
    },
  },

2. run yarn nx migrate latest, it will fail due to trying to call npm
