Currently there are two entry points for the `@angular/language-service`
package:
- `@angular/language-service`
This default entry point is for View Engine LS. Through the redirection
of `main` field in `package.json`, it resolves to
`./bundles/language-service.js`.
- `@angular/language-service/bundles/ivy.js`
This secondary entry point is for Ivy LS.
TypeScript recently changed the behavior of tsserver to allow only package
names as plugin names [1] for security reasons. This means the secondary
entry point for Ivy LS can no longer be used.
We implemented a quick hack in the module resolver (in the extension repo)
to fix this, but the long term fix should be in `@angular/language-service`.
Here, the `main` field in `package.json` is changed to `index.js`, and in the
index file we conditionally load View Engine or Ivy based on the input config.
This eliminates the need for multiple entry points.
As part of this PR, I also removed all source code for View Engine and Ivy
included in the NPM package. Consumers of this package should run the bundled
output and nothing else. This would help us prevent an accidental import that
results in execution of unbundled code.

PR Close#40967
Two motivations behind this change:
1. We would like to expose the types of the Language Service to external
users (like the VSCode extension) via the npm package, on the top
level of the package
2. We would like the View Engine and Ivy LS to share a common interface
(notably after the inclusion of `getTcb`, the Ivy LS upholds a
strict superset of `ts.LanguageService`; previously both VE and Ivy
LS were aligned on `ts.LanguageService`.)
To this end, this commit refactors the exports on the toplevel of the
`language-service/` package to just be types common to both the VE and
Ivy language services. The VE and Ivy build targets then import and use
these types accordingly, and the expectation is that an external user
will just import the relevant typings from the toplevel package without
diving into either the VE or Ivy sources.
