When ngtsc encounters a reference to a type (for example, a Component
type listed in an NgModule declarations array), it traces the import
of that type and attempts to determine the best way to refer to it.
In the event the type is defined in the same file where a reference
is being generated, the identifier of the type is used. If the type
was imported, ngtsc has a choice. It can use the identifier from the
original import, or it can write a new import to the module where the
type came from.
ngtsc has a bug currently when it elects to rely on the user's import.
When writing a .d.ts file, the user's import may have been elided as
the type was not referred to from the type side of the program. Thus,
in .d.ts files ngtsc must always assume the import may not exist, and
generate a new one.
In .js output the import is guaranteed to still exist, so it's
preferable for ngtsc to continue using the existing import if one is
available.
This commit changes how @angular/compiler writes type definitions, and
allows it to use a different expression to write a type definition than
is used to write the value. This allows ngtsc to specify that types in
type definitions should always be imported. A corresponding change to
the staticallyResolve() Reference system allows the choice of which
type of import to use when generating an Expression from a Reference.

Ivy definition types have a generic type which specifies the return
type of the factory function. For example:
static ngDirectiveDef<NgForOf, '[ngFor][ngForOf]'>
However, in this case NgForOf itself has a type parameter <T>. Thus,
writing the above is incorrect.
This commit modifies ngtsc to understand the genericness of NgForOf and
to write the following:
static ngDirectiveDef<NgForOf<any>, '[ngFor][ngForOf]'>
PR Close#24862
Previously ngtsc would use a tuple of class types for listing metadata
in .d.ts files. For example, an @NgModule's declarations might be
represented with the type:
[NgIf, NgForOf, NgClass]
If the module had no declarations, an empty tuple [] would be produced.
This has two problems.
1. If the class type has generic type parameters, TypeScript will
complain that they're not provided.
2. The empty tuple type is not actually legal.
This commit addresses both problems.
1. Class types are now represented using the `typeof` operator, so the
above declarations would be represented as:
[typeof NgIf, typeof NgForOf, typeof NgClass].
Since typeof operates on a value, it doesn't require generic type
arguments.
2. Instead of an empty tuple, `never` is used to indicate no metadata.

ngtsc needs to reflect over code to property compile it. It performs operations
such as enumerating decorators on a type, reading metadata from constructor
parameters, etc.
Depending on the format (ES5, ES6, etc) of the underlying code, the AST
structures over which this reflection takes place can be very different. For
example, in TS/ES6 code `class` declarations are `ts.ClassDeclaration` nodes,
but in ES5 code they've been downleveled to `ts.VariableDeclaration` nodes that
are initialized to IIFEs that build up the classes being defined.
The ReflectionHost abstraction allows ngtsc to perform these operations without
directly querying the AST. Different implementations of ReflectionHost allow
support for different code formats.

This commit builds out enough of the JIT compiler to render
//packages/core/test/bundling/todo, and allows the tests to run in
JIT mode.
To play with the app, run:
bazel run --define=compile=jit //packages/core/test/bundling/todo:prodserver
PR Close#24138
Bazel has a restriction that a single output (eg. a compiled version of
//packages/common) can only be produced by a single rule. This precludes
the Angular repo from having multiple rules that build the same code. And
the complexity of having a single rule produce multiple outputs (eg. an
ngc-compiled version of //packages/common and an Ivy-enabled version) is
too high.
Additionally, the Angular repo has lots of existing tests which could be
executed as-is under Ivy. Such testing is very valuable, and it would be
nice to share not only the code, but the dependency graph / build config
as well.
Thus, this change introduces a --define flag 'compile' with three potential
values. When --define=compile=X is set, the entire build system runs in a
particular mode - the behavior of all existing targets is controlled by
the flag. This allows us to reuse our entire build structure for testing
in a variety of different manners. The flag has three possible settings:
* legacy (the default): the traditional View Engine (ngc) build
* local: runs the prototype ngtsc compiler, which does not rely on global
analysis
* jit: runs ngtsc in a mode which executes tsickle, but excludes the
Angular related transforms, which approximates the behavior of plain
tsc. This allows the main packages such as common to be tested with
the JIT compiler.
Additionally, the ivy_ng_module() rule still exists and runs ngc in a mode
where Ivy-compiled output is produced from global analysis information, as
a stopgap while ngtsc is being developed.

Short-circuitable expressions (using ternary & binary operators) could not use
the regular binding mechanism as it relies on the bindings being checked every
single time - the index is incremented as part of checking the bindings.
Then for pure function kind of bindings we use a different mechanism with a
fixed index. As such short circuiting a binding check does not mess with the
expected binding index.
Note that all pure function bindings are handled the same wether or not they
actually are short-circuitable. This allows to keep the compiler and compiled
code simple - and there is no runtime perf cost anyway.

This commit bundles 3 important changes, with the goal of enabling tree-shaking
of services which are never injected. Ordinarily, this tree-shaking is prevented
by the existence of a hard dependency on the service by the module in which it
is declared.
Firstly, @Injectable() is modified to accept a 'scope' parameter, which points
to an @NgModule(). This reverses the dependency edge, permitting the module to
not depend on the service which it "provides".
Secondly, the runtime is modified to understand the new relationship created
above. When a module receives a request to inject a token, and cannot find that
token in its list of providers, it will then look at the token for a special
ngInjectableDef field which indicates which module the token is scoped to. If
that module happens to be in the injector, it will behave as if the token
itself was in the injector to begin with.
Thirdly, the compiler is modified to read the @Injectable() metadata and to
generate the special ngInjectableDef field as part of TS compilation, using the
PartialModules system.
Additionally, this commit adds several unit and integration tests of various
flavors to test this change.

The template compiler will generate code similar to,
```
if (NgIf.ngIfTypeGuard(instance.person)) {
