DEPRECATION:
platform-webworker has been around since the initial release of Angular
version 2. It began as an experiment to leverage Angular's rendering
architecture and try something different: to run an entire web application
in a web worker.
We've learned a lot from this experiment, and have come to the conclusion
that pushing entire applications to run in a web worker is not a recipe for
success for most applications. This is due to a number of unresolved issues,
including:
* Poor or non-existent support for web worker APIs in web crawlers/indexers.
* Poor support in build and bundling tooling.
As a result, as of Angular version 8, we are deprecating the
`platform-webworker` APIs in Angular. This consists of both NPM packages,
`@angular/platform-webworker` and `@angular/platform-webworker-dynamic`.
Going forward, we will focus our efforts related to web workers around their
primary use case of offloading CPU-intensive but not critical work.

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.

Prior to this change, Ivy version of TestBed was not designed to support the logic to avoid recompilations - most of the Components/Directives/Pipes were recompiled for each test, even if there were no overrides defined for a given Type. Additional checks to avoid recompilation were introduced in one of the previous commits (0244a2433e), but there were still some corner cases that required attention. In order to support the necessary logic better, Ivy TestBed was rewritten/refactored. Main results of this rewrite are:
* no recompilation for Components/Directives/Pipes without overrides
* the logic to restore state between tests (isolate tests) was improved
* transitive scopes calculation no longer performs recompilation (it works with compiled defs)
As a result of these changes we see reduction in memory consumption (3.5-4x improvement) and pefromance increase (4-4.5x improvement).

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.
PR Close#28726
Since we build and publish the individual packages
using Bazel and `build.sh` has been removed, we can
safely remove the `rollup.config.js` files which are no
longer needed because the `ng_package` bazel rule
automatically handles the rollup settings and globals.
PR Close#28646
We are close enough to blacklist a few test targets, rather than whitelist targets to run...
Because bazel rules can be composed of other rules that don't inherit tags automatically,
I had to explicitly mark all of our ts_library and ng_module targes with "ivy-local" and
"ivy-jit" tags so that we can create a query that excludes all fixme- tagged targets even
if those targets are composed of other targets that don't inherit this tag.
This is the updated overview of ivy related bazel tags:
- ivy-only: target that builds or runs only under ivy
- fixme-ivy-jit: target that doesn't yet build or run under ivy with --compile=jit
- fixme-ivy-local: target that doesn't yet build or run under ivy with --compile=local
- no-ivy-jit: target that is not intended to build or run under ivy with --compile=jit
- no-ivy-local: target that is not intended to build or run under ivy with --compile=local
