There is an encoding issue with using delta `Δ`, where the browser will attempt to detect the file encoding if the character set is not explicitly declared on a `<script/>` tag, and Chrome will find the `Δ` character and decide it is window-1252 encoding, which misinterprets the `Δ` character to be some other character that is not a valid JS identifier character
So back to the frog eyes we go.

The `Δ` caused issue with other infrastructure, and we are temporarily
changing it to `ɵɵ`.
This commit also patches ts_api_guardian_test and AIO to understand `ɵɵ`.
PR Close#29850
This change makes the code cleaner for the user. It does mean
a little bit more work for us since we have to patch the `type` back
into the `DirectiveDef`. However since the patching happens only once
on startup it should not be significant.
PR Close#21374
This separation is no longer needed since directives are now passed into the `container` as an array rather than as child functions of the `containerStart`
