This adds the feature for `@ViewChild`/`@ViewChildren`/`@ContentChild`/`@ContentChildren` to define what to read from the queried element.
E.g. `@ViewChild(`someVar`, read: ViewContainerRef)` will locate the element with a variable `someVar` on it and return a `ViewContainerRef` for it.
Background: With this change, Angular knows exactly at which elements there will be `ViewConainerRef`s as the user has to ask explicitly of them. This simplifies codegen and will make converting Angular templates into server side templates simpler as well.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation` has been removed. Use `@ViewChild(‘myVar’, read: ViewContainerRef)` to get hold of a `ViewContainerRef` at an element with variable `myVar`.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` now takes a `ViewContainerRef` instead of an `ElementRef`.
- `AppViewManager` is renamed into `ViewUtils` and is a mere private utility service.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

This is part of ongoing work to make core platform-independent.
BREAKING CHANGE
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}'.
- Rename `DirectiveMetadata` into `CompileDirectiveMetadata`, merge
with `NormalizedDirectiveMetadata` and remove `ChangeDetectionMetadata`
- Store change detector factories not as array but
directly at the `CompiledTemplate` or the embedded template
to make instantiation easier later on
- Already analyze variable values and map them
to `Directive.exportAs`
- Keep the directive sort order as specified in the
`@View()` annotation
- Allow to clear the runtime cache in `StyleCompiler`
and `TemplateCompiler`
- Ignore `script` elements to match the semantics of the
current compiler
- Make all components dynamically loadable and remove
the previously introduced property `@Component#dynamicLoadable`
for now until we find a better option to configure this
- Don’t allow to specify bindings in `@View#directives` and `@View#pipes` as this was never supported by the transformer (see below for the breaking change)
BREAKING CHANGE:
- don't support DI bindings in `@View#directives` and `@View@pipes` any more in preparation of integrating the new compiler. Use `@Directive#bindings` to reexport directives under a different token instead.
