Subject: [PATCH] build: add caretaker configuration to ng-dev config

Add the caretaker configuration to set up being able to run both the carataker
check and the handoff commands.

The caretaker handoff command will operate using the angular-cli-caretaker group
which has already been seeded with the current information.
