`nx e2e` with Cypress triggers `Unknown option: '--env'`

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

The --env flag is not recognized by the nx e2e command.

Expected Behavior

I would like to be able to use an --env flag to specify custom variables for Cypress on the command line, as we can do with the cypress run command.

Steps to Reproduce

Create an app with Cypress e2e capability named ‘my-app’.
Add the environment variable declaration in apps/my-app-e2e/cypress.json:

{
	"env": {
		"myEnvKey": "myEnvDefaultValue"
	},
	"fileServerFolder": ".",
	"fixturesFolder": "./src/fixtures",
	"integrationFolder": "./src/integration",
	"modifyObstructiveCode": false,
	"pluginsFile": "./src/plugins/index",
	"supportFile": "./src/support/index.ts",
	"video": true,
	"videosFolder": "../../dist/cypress/apps/my-app-e2e/videos",
	"screenshotsFolder": "../../dist/cypress/apps/my-app-e2e/screenshots",
	"chromeWebSecurity": false
}

$> yarn run nx e2e --project=my-app-e2e --env.myEnvKey myEnvValue

yarn run v1.21.1
$ nx e2e --project=my-app-e2e --env.myEnvKey foo

> ng run my-app-e2e:e2e --env=[object Object] 
Unknown option: '--env'

@hadrien-toma @mehrad-rafigh I think this is related to the way we parse the extra arguments. I have a PR open already to fix the arrays, but I will change it to a more generic approach so we can avoid such issues in the future. Stay tuned 😄
