Previously the compiler compliance tests ran and built test code with
real dependencies on @angular/core and @angular/common. This meant that
any changes to the compiler would result in long rebuild processes
for tests to rerun.
This change removes those dependencies and causes test code to be built
against the fake_core stub of @angular/core that the ngtsc tests use.
This change also removes the dependency on @angular/common entirely, as
locality means it's possible to reference *ngIf without needing to link
to an implementation.
PR Close#25248
This commit moves the compiler compliance tests into compiler-cli,
and uses ngtsc to run them instead of the custom compilation
pipeline used before. Testing against ngtsc allows for validation
of the real compiler output.
This commit also fixes a few small issues that prevented the tests
from passing.
