Bazel has a restriction that a single output (eg. a compiled version of
//packages/common) can only be produced by a single rule. This precludes
the Angular repo from having multiple rules that build the same code. And
the complexity of having a single rule produce multiple outputs (eg. an
ngc-compiled version of //packages/common and an Ivy-enabled version) is
too high.
Additionally, the Angular repo has lots of existing tests which could be
executed as-is under Ivy. Such testing is very valuable, and it would be
nice to share not only the code, but the dependency graph / build config
as well.
Thus, this change introduces a --define flag 'compile' with three potential
values. When --define=compile=X is set, the entire build system runs in a
particular mode - the behavior of all existing targets is controlled by
the flag. This allows us to reuse our entire build structure for testing
in a variety of different manners. The flag has three possible settings:
* legacy (the default): the traditional View Engine (ngc) build
* local: runs the prototype ngtsc compiler, which does not rely on global
analysis
* jit: runs ngtsc in a mode which executes tsickle, but excludes the
Angular related transforms, which approximates the behavior of plain
tsc. This allows the main packages such as common to be tested with
the JIT compiler.
Additionally, the ivy_ng_module() rule still exists and runs ngc in a mode
where Ivy-compiled output is produced from global analysis information, as
a stopgap while ngtsc is being developed.

Short-circuitable expressions (using ternary & binary operators) could not use
the regular binding mechanism as it relies on the bindings being checked every
single time - the index is incremented as part of checking the bindings.
Then for pure function kind of bindings we use a different mechanism with a
fixed index. As such short circuiting a binding check does not mess with the
expected binding index.
Note that all pure function bindings are handled the same wether or not they
actually are short-circuitable. This allows to keep the compiler and compiled
code simple - and there is no runtime perf cost anyway.

This commit adds a mechanism by which the @angular/core annotations
for @Component, @Injectable, and @NgModule become decorators which,
when executed at runtime, trigger just-in-time compilation of their
associated types. The activation of these decorators is configured
by the ivy_switch mechanism, ensuring that the Ivy JIT engine does
not get included in Angular bundles unless specifically requested.

Previously, the compileComponent() and compileDirective() APIs still required
the output of global analysis, even though they only read local information
from that output.
With this refactor, compileComponent() and compileDirective() now define
their inputs explicitly, with the new interfaces R3ComponentMetadata and
R3DirectiveMetadata. compileComponentGlobal() and compileDirectiveGlobal()
are introduced and convert from global analysis output into the new metadata
format.
This refactor also splits out the view compiler into separate files as
r3_view_compiler_local.ts was getting unwieldy.
Finally, this refactor also splits out generation of DI factory functions
into a separate r3_factory utility as the logic is utilized between different
compilers.

This commit adds a new compiler pipeline that isn't dependent on global
analysis, referred to as 'ngtsc'. This new compiler is accessed by
running ngc with "enableIvy" set to "ngtsc". It reuses the same initialization
logic but creates a new implementation of Program which does not perform the
global-level analysis that AngularCompilerProgram does. It will be the
foundation for the production Ivy compiler.

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.

In certain cases seen in production, simplify() can returned
undefined when simplifying decorator metadata. This has proven tricky
to reproduce in an isolated test, but the fix is simple and low-risk:
don't attempt to spread an undefined set of annotations in the first
place.

- Remove default injection value from `inject` / `directiveInject` since
it is not possible to set using annotations.
- Module `Injector` is stored on `LView` instead of `LInjector` data
structure because it can change only at `LView` level. (More efficient)
- Add `ngInjectableDef` to `IterableDiffers` so that existing tests can
pass as well as enable `IterableDiffers` to be injectable without
`Injector`

This change changes:
- compiler uses `directiveInject` instead of `inject` for `Directive`s
- unifies the flags in `di` as well as `render3`
- changes the signature of `directiveInject` to match `inject` In prep for #23330
- compiler now generates flags for injection.

The 'stringify' function prints an object as [Object object] which
is not very helpful in many cases, especially in a diagnostics
message. This commit changes the behavior to pretty print an object.

When compiling templates the compiler would often bind to
closest context rather than the component context.
The only time one should be binding to the cont component is
in explicit cases where the inner template declares local variable.
PR Close#23168
Given
```
<div *ngFor=”…” (click)=“doSomething()”>
```
Before `doSomething` would execute on the inner template context, which
is incorrect. The correct behavior is to execute on the top level context
of the component.

Computing the value of loadChildren does not work externally, as the CLI
needs to be able to detect the paths referenced to properly set up
codesplitting. However, internally, different approaches to codesplitting
require hashed module IDs, and the computation of those hashes involves
something like:
{path: '...', loadChildren: hashFn('module')}
ngc should lower loadChildren into an exported constant in that case.
This will never break externally, because loadChildren is always a
string externally, and a string won't get lowered.

Remove `containerRefreshStart` and `containerRefreshEnd` instruction
from the output.
Generate directives as a list in `componentDef` rather than inline into
instructions. This is consistent in making selector resolution runtime
so that translation of templates can follow locality.
