Now, one can add an `@alias` tag to API docs, which tells dgeni that this
API element (usually a `const`) is really just an alias for some API element
defined elsewhere.
Dgeni will then look up this API element and copy over the properties from
the alias to the current doc.
For example, we would like to privately export an Enum from `@angular/core`
but then publicly export this from `@angular/common`:
**packages/core/private_exports.ts**
```ts
/**
* Description of this document.
*/
export enum ɵSomeEnum { ... }
```
**packages/common/public_api.ts**
```ts
import {ɵSomeEnum} from '@angular/core';
/**
* @alias core/ɵSomeEnum
*/
export const SomeEnum = ɵSomeEnum;
```
In the generated docs there will be a page for `common/SomeEnum`, which
will be rendered as an enum, rather than a const, showing the description
extracted from the `core/ɵSomeEnum`.
---
The implementation of this feature required some refactoring of the other
processing:
1. Previously `ɵ` prefixed exports were not even considered.
2. Due to 1. some processors needed to have guards added to ignore such
private exports (`addMetadataAliases` and `checkContentRules`).
3. The processing of package pages had to be reworked (and split) so that
it picked up the aliased export docs after their alias proeprties had
been copied.

In some overloads, the parameter type can be a large anonymous
object type.
This change displays such types as `object`. It is then up to the
documentation author to put more information about the type in the
method usage notes.

Some of the text in CLI API docs were being auto-linked to API
pages. This was not correct, and in fact these blocks should not
have any auto links to Angular API at all.

This commit includes the following changes:
* CLI version information is read from the CLI package from which
we read the help files.
* CLI API pages now contain GH links
* line numbers are not shown in GH links, if the doc does not
have a truthy `startingLine` value. This allows us to remove
hard coded checks for `guide` pages
* content pages and CLI api docs no longer have a `startingLine`
* the hard-coded `packages` path segment has been removed from
the templates; instead we now only use the `realProjectRelativePath`.
* the `realProjectRelativePath` has been updated accordingly for API
and CLI API docs.

If the documentation contains a `@selectors` tag then the content of that
is used to describe the selectors of a directive.
Otherwise the selector string is split and each selector is listed as
a list item in an unordered list.
PR Close#25768
All directives and pipes must now be tagged with one ore more
public NgModule, from which they are exported.
If an item is exported transitively via a re-exported internal NgModule
then it may be that the item appears to be exported from more than
one public NgModule. For example, there are shared directives that
are exported in this way from `FormsModule` and `ReactiveFormsModule`.
The doc-gen will error and fail if a directive or pipe is not tagged correctly.
NgModule pages now list all the directives and pipes that are exported from it.
Directive and Pipe pages now list any NgModule from which they are exported.
Packages also now list any NgModules that are contained - previously they were
missed.

In an overloaded method, the overload with the function body is the
actual method doc, and this doc is not included in the list of "additional"
overloads.
Moreover, the logic (all in dgeni-packages) is that if none of the items
has a body then we use the first overload as the actual method doc.
In the case of abstract methods, none of the methods have a body. So we
have a situation where the overloads collection does not contain the first
abstract method, even though it is not the "implementation" of the method.
Therefore we need to still render it.
