/**
 * Modifies the `nxJson` object to ensure that the specified `target` has a default dependency configuration,
 * and appends new dependencies from `dependsOnList` if they are not already present.
 *
 * This function first ensures that the `targetDefaults` and the specific `target` within it exist on the `nxJson` object.
 * If they do not exist, they are initialized to their default states (empty objects and arrays as appropriate).
 * It then iterates over the `dependsOnList`, adding each dependency to the `target`'s `dependsOn` array if it is not
 * already included. This inclusion check handles both string and object types of dependencies, ensuring no duplicates.
 *
 * @param {NxJsonWithTargetDefaults} nxJson - The Nx configuration object which includes target defaults.
 * @param {string} target - The name of the target for which the dependencies are being set or updated.
 * @param {...NxJsonTargetDependsOn[]} dependsOnList - A variable number of dependency configurations (either strings or objects)
 * that should be added to the target's dependency list if not already present.
