We no longer want to run Saucelabs for every PR/commit because
Saucelabs has been very flaky recently and it blocks most of the
PRs with a flaky failing state that we cannot fix most of the time due
to upstream Saucelabs failures/incidents. Since real browsers tests
rarely catch browser-specific failures (same as in Material), we should
only run Saucelabs in a cronjob on the upstream branches. This still
ensures/guarantees our browser compatibility, but makes our CI
more stable and the PR workflow more productive.
PR Close#28787
Since all unit tests are now run with Bazel, we can remove
the local legacy unit tests job. We still need to keep the
Saucelabs legacy job until we can run all of these web
unit tests with Saucelabs and Bazel.

As discussed in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/28546#discussion_r254068014, we want to combine the
`define_env_vars` and `download_yarn` anchor since downloading Yarn depends on setting up the
environment variables. In addition this simplifies our setup and reduces code-duplication.
PR Close#28788
Previously, in order for the `aio_monitoring` failure notifications to
work, the steps up to `define_env_vars` should have succeeded. This
meant that any failures in earlier steps would not send notifications.
This commit fixes it by making the notification step independent of the
`define_env_vars` step.

In most cases, it doesn't make a difference, because the cache does
already exist and is not saved. In the few cases where the dependencies
change (and the cache needs to be updated), it makes more sense to save
the cache in the `build-npm-packages` job, because most jobs depend on
it and thus will be able to take advantage of the updated cache right
away.
This seems to be an oversight in b26ac1c22.

Currently our version of Yarn is installed through
the "circleci/node" docker image. This is problematic
because in order to be able to update Yarn, we always
need to update the docker image to a version that
comes with the desired Yarn version. Sometimes there
is no docker image with the desired latest Yarn version,
and therefore we cannot easily update the Yarn version.
Additionally updating the docker image also means that
we need to update our version of NodeJS, as well as the
version of `openssl` might have changed (meaning that
our encrypted credential files may not be decodable with
the new version of `openssl`)

Occasionally, yarn's requests take more than 10 minutes to
complete/fail, by which time CircleCI jobs due to no output.
This commit works around the issue by periodically printing something to
stdout.
PR Close#28458
Previously all Bazel repositories were cached on CircleCI
because the `experimental_repository_cache` flag has been
specified and the given repository cache directory has been
included in the CircleCI cache storage.
The directory is currently still included in the CircleCI
cache storage, but the `--repository_cache` flag is no longer
specified, and the cache directory is basically empty all the
time. The flag seems to have been removed accidentally within
SHA c8b70ae8e4.
We should specifiy this flag on the CI again, so that Bazel
doesn't need to install the Bazel managed node modules
all the time. This would slow down analysis phase on CI; and also
makes us dependent on the Yarn/NPM registry which often times out
if we fetch a lot of dependencies.
Also in order to make sure that cached Bazel repositories are
also most of the time in sync with what's currently defined in
the workspace, we need to update the cache key.
PR Close#28515
Currently whenever someone creates a pull request, the NPM dependencies
are downloaded and installed. This is problematic because we have a lot
NPM dependencies with potentially large files that would need to be
downloaded (e.g. the Bazel binaries).
The caches are currently not being restored because we added the
`{Branch}` variable to the CircleCI cache key. Since every PR has a different
branch name (e.g. `devversion/refs/heads/my-banch`), the cache keys would
never match an existing cache key, and the PR would start fresh by
downloading everything.
We can safely remove the `{Branch}` variable from the cache key because
it does not provide any value since the cached files are based on the state
of the `yarn.lock` file and not based on the current branch name. This reduces
our dependency on the slow and sometimes **flaky** Yarn registry. We should
try to depend as few as possible on external services (e.g. see how Saucelabs
flakiness can cause trouble for the caretaker; same applies to flaky Yarn installs)

By default, `webdriver-manager update` will download the latest
ChromeDriver version, which might not be compatible with the Chrome
version included in the [docker image used on CI], causing CI failures.
Previously, we used to pin the ChromeDriver version on CI in
[ngcontainer's Dockerfile][2]. This was accidentally broken in #26691,
while moving from ngcontainer to default CircleCI docker images.
This commit fixes the issue by pinning ChromeDriver to a known
compatible version.

* No longer builds the example e2e tests using "tsc". The examples are now built with Bazel and can therefore be built with Ivy by using the `--define=compile=aot` switch.
* No longer runs the example e2e tests using the protractor CLI. example e2e tests are executed with the Bazel protractor rule and can therefore run incrementally.
NOTE: Unit tests found within the examples are still running within the legacy jobs.

* Groups the two sharded `test_docs_examples` job using CircleCI's `parallelism` feature. This makes the amount of jobs that show up on a PR, more reduced and also reduces code duplication for maintaining the Circle job definition.

Moving the tests over to CircleCI in pretty much "as-is" state just so that we can drop the dependency on Travis.
In the followup changes we plan to migrate these tests to run on sauce under bazel. @gregmagolan is working on that.
I've previously verified that all the tests executed in legacy-unit-tests-local already under bazel.
Therefore the legacy-unit-tests-local job is strictly not necessary any more, but given how flaky legacy-unit-tests-saucelabs is,
it is good to have the -local job just so that we can quickly determine if any failure is a flake or legit issue
(the bazel version of these tests could theoretically run in a slightly different way and fail or not fail in a different way, so having -lcoal job is just an extra safety check).
This change was coauthored with @devversion

Switch from Skylint to buildifier --lint - this is required for the Bazel 0.20 upgrade since Bazel no longer lets us use the embedded JDK to build and run Java programs, and Skylint is a Java program

With this change, we no longer depend on CircleCI to trigger the webhook
(which it sometimes does with considerable delay or not at all).
This has the added benefit that other jobs will not unnecessarily
trigger webhooks and spam the preview server logs. It is only the
`aio_preview` job's webhook that we care about.
Related to #27352.

Currently the Github robot is not able to measure the artifacts of the `hello_world` and `todo` bundling tests because those will be only built with the `ivy-only` rule tag. This means that the current CircleCI job that is supposed to upload the size artifacts, does not even build those bundles.

Since 8fc4ae51f, the jobs that need Xvfb use `*-browser` CircleCI docker
image flavors (e.g. `circleci/node:10.12-browsers`), which automatically
start Xvfb.

* No longer depends on a custom CircleCI docker image that comes with Bazel pre-installed. Since Bazel is now available through NPM, we should be able to use the version from `@bazel/bazel` in order to enforce a consistent environment on CI and locally.
* This also reduces the amount of packages that need to be published (ngcontainer is removed)

By splitting the jobs, if something goes wrong with deploying (e.g. a
network issue), we can re-run just that part instead of having to wait
for all the tests to complete again.
In terms of total duration, the difference should be minimal, because
the two operations (testing and deploying) do not depend on shared
tasks. For example, we need to build again (for the specific target
environment; e.g. stable, next, etc.) before deploying anyway.

Some of the `aio`-/`docs`-related jobs rely on the locally built Angular
packages. When these jobs fail, it could mean that there is an issue
with the Angular packages (e.g. an unintentional breaking change).
This commit ensures that the `publish_artifacts` job is not run, unless
those `aio`-/`docs`-related jobs pass.
(The `test_aio_tools` job also uses the locally built Angular packages,
but it does not exercise them in a meaningful way to be worth making it
a prerequisite for `publish_artifacts`.)

We are close enough to blacklist a few test targets, rather than whitelist targets to run...
Because bazel rules can be composed of other rules that don't inherit tags automatically,
I had to explicitly mark all of our ts_library and ng_module targes with "ivy-local" and
"ivy-jit" tags so that we can create a query that excludes all fixme- tagged targets even
if those targets are composed of other targets that don't inherit this tag.
This is the updated overview of ivy related bazel tags:
- ivy-only: target that builds or runs only under ivy
- fixme-ivy-jit: target that doesn't yet build or run under ivy with --compile=jit
- fixme-ivy-local: target that doesn't yet build or run under ivy with --compile=local
- no-ivy-jit: target that is not intended to build or run under ivy with --compile=jit
- no-ivy-local: target that is not intended to build or run under ivy with --compile=local
