Currently, template expressions and statements have their location
recorded relative to the HTML element they are in, with no handle to
absolute location in a source file except for a line/column location.
However, the line/column location is also not entirely accurate, as it
points an entire semantic expression, and not necessarily the start of
an expression recorded by the expression parser.
To support record of the source code expressions originate from, add a
new `sourceSpan` field to `ASTWithSource` that records the absolute byte
offset of an expression within a source code.
Implement part 2 of [refactoring template parsing for
stability](https://hackmd.io/@X3ECPVy-RCuVfba-pnvIpw/BkDUxaW84/%2FMA1oxh6jRXqSmZBcLfYdyw?type=book).

A long time ago Angular used to support both those attribute notations:
- `*attr='binding'`
- `template=`attr: binding`
Because the last notation has been dropped we can refactor the binding parsing.
Source maps will benefit from that as no `attr:` prefix is added artificialy any
more.
PR Close#23460
Template expressions can now use a post-fix `!` operator
that asserts the target of the operator is not null. This is
similar to the TypeScript non-null assert operator. Expressions
generated in factories will be generated with the non-null assert
operator.
Closes: #10855
* feat(common): support `as` syntax in template/* bindings
Closes#15020
Showing the new and the equivalent old syntax.
- `*ngIf="exp as var1”`
=> `*ngIf="exp; let var1 = ngIf”`
- `*ngFor="var item of itemsStream |async as items”`
=> `*ngFor="var item of itemsStream |async; let items = ngForOf”`
* feat(common): convert ngIf to use `*ngIf="exp as local“` syntax
* feat(common): convert ngForOf to use `*ngFor=“let i of exp as local“` syntax
* feat(common): expose NgForOfContext and NgIfContext
