Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.

The major one that affects the angular repo is the removal of the bootstrap attribute in nodejs_binary, nodejs_test and jasmine_node_test in favor of using templated_args --node_options=--require=/path/to/script. The side-effect of this is that the bootstrap script does not get the require.resolve patches with explicitly loading the targets _loader.js file.

Most of the use of `document` in the framework is within
the DI so they just inject the `DOCUMENT` token and are done.
Ivy is special because it does not rely upon the DI and must
get hold of the document some other way. There are a limited
number of places relevant to ivy that currently consume a global
document object.
The solution is modelled on the `LOCALE_ID` approach, which has
`getLocaleId()` and `setLocaleId()` top-level functions for ivy (see
`core/src/render3/i18n.ts`). In the rest of Angular (i.e. using DI) the
`LOCALE_ID` token has a provider that also calls setLocaleId() to
ensure that ivy has the same value.
This commit defines `getDocument()` and `setDocument() `top-level
functions for ivy. Wherever ivy needs the global `document`, it calls
`getDocument()` instead. Each of the platforms (e.g. Browser, Server,
WebWorker) have providers for `DOCUMENT`. In each of those providers
they also call `setDocument()` accordingly.

BREAKING CHANGE:
We no longer directly have a direct depedency on `tslib`. Instead it is now listed a `peerDependency`.
Users not using the CLI will need to manually install `tslib` via;
```
yarn add tslib
```
or
```
npm install tslib --save
```

TestBed.get is not type safe, fixing it would be a massive breaking
change. The Angular team has proposed replacing it with TestBed.inject
and deprecate TestBed.get.
Deprecation from TestBed.get will come as a separate commit.
Issue #26491Fixes#29905
BREAKING CHANGE: Injector.get now accepts abstract classes to return
type-safe values. Previous implementation returned `any` through the
deprecated implementation.

Fixes all TypeScript failures caused by enabling the `--strict`
flag for test source files. We also want to enable the strict
options for tests as the strictness enforcement improves the
overall codehealth, unveiled common issues and additionally it
allows us to enable `strict` in the `tsconfig.json` that is picked
up by IDE's.

AngularJS's `$location` service doesn't have a direct counterpart in Angular. This is largely because the `Location` service in Angular was pulled out of the `Router`, but was not purpose-built to stand on its own.
This commit adds a new `@angular/common/upgrade` package with the beginnings of a new `LocationUpgradeService`. This service will more closely match the API of AngularJS and provide a way to replace the `$location` service from AngularJS.

Without this change, the framework doesn't surface URL parts such as hostname, protocol, and port. This makes it difficult to rebuild a complete URL. This change provides new APIs to read these values.
PR Close#30055
Previously there wasn't a way to retrieve `history.state` from the `Location` service. The only time the framework exposed this value was in navigation events. This meant if you weren't using the Angular router, there wasn't a way to get access to this `history.state` value other than going directly to the DOM.
This PR adds an API to retrieve the value of `history.state`. This will be useful and needed to provide a backwards-compatible `Location` service that can emulate AngularJS's `$location` service since we will need to be able to read the state data in order to produce AngularJS location transition events.
This feature will additionally be useful to any application that wants to access state data through Angular rather than going directly to the DOM APIs.

This update gives external tooling the ability for async providers to
finish resolving before the document is serialized. This is not a
breaking change since render already returns a promise. All returned
promises from `BEFORE_APP_SERIALIZED` providers will wait to be
resolved or rejected. Any rejected promises will only console.warn().

This change enables dts bundling for the following packages and their secondary entry points:
- @angular/animations
- @angular/elements
- @angular/http
- @angular/platform-browser
- @angular/platform-browser-dynamic
- @angular/platform-server
- @angular/platform-webworker
- @angular/platform-webworker-dynamic
- @angular/servce-worker
Dts bundling happens in `ng_module` bazel definition, hence packages such as `@angular/compiler`, `@angular/compiler-cli` and `@angular/langauge service` cannot be flattened as they use `ts_library`.
`@angular/core`, `@angular/common`, `@angular/upgrade` and `@angular/forms` will be done seperatly as it requires some changes either to their source or specs.
