This patch is the first of a few patches which separates the
styling logic between template bindings (e.g. <div [style])
from host bindings (e.g. @HostBinding('style')). This patch
in particular introduces a series of host-specific styling
instructions and changes the existing set of template styling
instructions not to accept directives. The underyling code (which
communicates with the styling algorithm) still works as it did
before.
This PR also separates the styling instruction code into a separate
file and moves over all other instructions into an dedicated
instructions directory.

Up until this point, all static attribute values (things like `title` and `id`)
defined within the `host` are of a Component/Directive definition were
generated into a `def.attributes` array and then processed at runtime.
This design decision does not lend itself well to tree-shaking and is
inconsistent with other static values such as styles and classes.
This fix ensures that all static attribute values (attributes, classes,
and styles) that exist within a host definition for components and
directives are all assigned via the `elementHostAttrs` instruction.
```
// before
defineDirective({
...
attributes: ['title', 'my title']
...
})
//now
defineDirective({
...
hostBindings: function() {
if (create) {
elementHostAttrs(..., ['title', 'my-title']);
}
...
}
...
})
```

This update aligns Ivy behavior with ViewEngine related to empty bindings (for example <div [someProp]></div>): empty bindings are ignored.

Previously in Ivy, host bindings did not work if they shared a public name
with an Input because they used the `elementProperty` instruction as is.
This instruction was originally built for inside component templates, so it
would either set a directive input OR a native property. This is the
correct behavior for inside a template, but for host bindings, we always
want the native properties to be set regardless of the presence of an Input.
This change adds an extra argument to `elementProperty` so we can tell it to
ignore directive inputs and only set native properties (if it is in the
context of a host binding).

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.

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.
