fix(misc): dot nx setup shouldn't include target defaults (#23180)

<!-- Please make sure you have read the submission guidelines before
posting an PR -->
<!--
https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#-submitting-a-pr
-->

<!-- Please make sure that your commit message follows our format -->
<!-- Example: `fix(nx): must begin with lowercase` -->

## Current Behavior
- `nx add @nx/gradle` installs latest version
- `nx init` sets up target defaults
- `nx add package@beta` will add `beta` as the version, rather than
resolving it to the tag.

## Expected Behavior
- `nx add @nx/gradle` installs version matching `nx`
- `nx init` lets plugin handle settings
- `nx add package@beta` will add the latest version matching the beta
tag
