Target `defaultConfiguration` should be passed to `dependsOn` targets

Current Behavior

I have an update-config target which is included using dependsOn as follows:

"serve": {
  "dependsOn": [
    {
      "target": "update-config",
      "projects": "self"
    }
  ],
  ...
}

When called with an explicit configuration this is passed to the update-config target:

$ nx run dummy:serve:development

 >  NX   Running target serve for project dummy and 1 task(s) it depends on

> nx run dummy:update-config:development

> nx run dummy:serve:development

⠼ Generating browser application bundles (phase: building)...

When called without an explicit configuration this is NOT passed to the update-config target:

$ nx run dummy:serve

 >  NX   Running target serve for project dummy and 1 task(s) it depends on

> nx run dummy:update-config

> nx run dummy:serve:development

⠹ Generating browser application bundles (phase: building)...

Expected Behavior

I expect that a call to nx run dummy:serve which utilises the defaultConfiguration of the serve target to also pass this configuration to the dependsOn targets.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the test repo: https://github.com/danielsharvey/nx-10868-dependson-test
2. Run npm install
3. Execute nx run dummy:serve:development and observe that the development configuration is passed to the update-config target.
4. Execute nx run dummy:serve and observe that the development configuration is NOT passed to the update-config target.

Failure Logs

Not applicable.

Fair, thanks. Perhaps, it could be an optional parameter when defining a default configuration? (whether it is propagated or not)

I am certainly liking the dependsOn feature - it has enabled me to remove multiple embedded nx run ... and rely on a single task graph.

I can see how it could be confusing, but it feels like it makes sense that when manually specifying a configuration it’s passed to all targets vs the default for each target being used otherwise.

I’m not sure on this, definitely wouldn’t mind other options @FrozenPandaz
