Nx: Creating multiple back end applications throws error `Path "/apps/X/proxy.conf.json" already exist.`

[davecranwell-vocovo]

Current Behavior

If I create a React app, then an express app with --frontendProject=myreactapp. I see a proxy.conf.json created in the React app codebase.

If I then add a second express app, also with the same frontendProject, I get the error
Path "/apps/myreactapp/proxy.conf.json" already exist. and the generator appears to bail: no further files are created or changed.

I have to wonder if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong by having 2 APIs, but this can't be that unusual in a microservices environment.

I've tried using --force but it still complains. Ideally it shouldn't have to use force though as multiple apis doesn't seem outlandish.

Expected Behavior

I'd expect the second app to be appended to the object in proxy.conf.json.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create brand new NX project
2. Add React front end
3. Add Express backend, linked to front end
4. Add second Express backend, linked to front end

Environment

OSX Catalina
Node 12.16.2
@nrwl/workspace 10.4.4

I can reproduce this as well, when I adjust the test. I will take a look at this and open a PR
