Previously, the incremental flow for NgCompiler was simple: when creating a
new NgCompiler instance, the consumer could pass state from a previous
compilation, which would cause the new compilation to be performed
incrementally. "Local" information about TypeScript files which had not
changed would be passed from the old compilation to the new and reused,
while "global" information would always be recalculated.
However, this flow could be made more efficient in certain cases, such as
when no TypeScript files are changed in a new compilation. In this case,
_all_ information extracted during the first compilation is reusable. Doing
this involves reusing the previous `NgCompiler` instance (the container for
such global information) and updating it, instead of creating a new one for
the next compilation. This approach works cleanly, but complicates the
lifecycle of `NgCompiler`.
To prevent consumers from having to deal with the mechanics of reuse vs
incremental steps of `NgCompiler`, a new `CompilationTicket` mechanism is
added in this commit. Consumers obtain a `CompilationTicket` via one of
several code paths depending on the nature of the incoming compilation, and
use the `CompilationTicket` to obtain an `NgCompiler` instance. This
instance may be a fresh compilation, a new `NgCompiler` for an incremental
compilation, or an existing `NgCompiler` that's been updated to optimally
process a resource-only change. Consumers can use the new `NgCompiler`
without knowledge of its provenance.

To avoid overwhelming a user with secondary diagnostics that derive from a
"root cause" error, the compiler has the notion of a "poisoned" NgModule.
An NgModule becomes poisoned when its declaration contains semantic errors:
declarations which are not components or pipes, imports which are not other
NgModules, etc. An NgModule also becomes poisoned if it imports or exports
another poisoned NgModule.
Previously, the compiler tracked this poisoned status as an alternate state
for each scope. Either a correct scope could be produced, or the entire
scope would be set to a sentinel error value. This meant that the compiler
would not track any information about a scope that was determined to be in
error.
This method presents several issues:
1. The compiler is unable to support the language service and return results
when a component or its module scope is poisoned.
This is fine for compilation, since diagnostics will be produced showing the
error(s), but the language service needs to still work for incorrect code.
2. `getComponentScopes()` does not return components with a poisoned scope,
which interferes with resource tracking of incremental builds.
If the component isn't included in that list, then the NgModule for it will
not have its dependencies properly tracked, and this can cause future
incremental build steps to produce incorrect results.
This commit changes the tracking of poisoned module scopes to use a flag on
the scope itself, rather than a sentinel value that replaces the scope. This
means that the scope itself will still be tracked, even if it contains
semantic errors. A test is added to the language service which verifies that
poisoned scopes can still be used in template type-checking.

This commit adds new language service testing infrastructure which allows
for in-memory testing. It solves a number of issues with the previous
testing infrastructure that relied on a single integration project across
all of the tests, and also provides for much faster builds by using
the compiler-cli's mock versions of @angular/core and @angular/common.
A new `LanguageServiceTestEnvironment` class (conceptually mirroring the
compiler-cli `NgtscTestEnvironment`) controls setup and execution of tests.
The `FileSystem` abstraction is used to drive a `ts.server.ServerHost`,
which backs the language service infrastructure.
Since many language service tests revolve around the template, the API is
currently optimized to spin up a "skeleton" project and then override its
template for each test.
The existing Quick Info tests (quick_info_spec.ts) were ported to the new
infrastructure for validation. The tests were cleaned up a bit to remove
unnecessary initializations as well as correct legitimate template errors
which did not affect the test outcome, but caused additional validation of
test correctness to fail. They still utilize a shared project with all
fields required for each individual unit test, which is an anti-pattern, but
new tests can now easily be written independently without relying on the
shared project, which was extremely difficult previously. Future cleanup
work might refactor these tests to be more independent.

This commit enables the Ivy Language Service to 'go to definition' of a
templateUrl or styleUrl, which would jump to the template/style file
itself.
PR Close#39202
This commit fixes a bug in which a new Ivy Compiler is created every time
language service receives a new request. This is not needed if the
`ts.Program` has not changed.
A new class `CompilerFactory` is created to manage Compiler lifecycle and
keep track of template changes so that it knows when to override them.
With this change, we no longer need the method `getModifiedResourceFile()`
on the adapter. Instead, we call `overrideComponentTemplate` on the
template type checker.
This commit also changes the incremental build strategy from
`PatchedIncrementalBuildStrategy` to `TrackedIncrementalBuildStrategy`.
