When ngtsc compiles @angular/core, it rewrites core imports to the
r3_symbols.ts file that exposes all internal symbols under their
external name. When creating the FESM bundle, the r3_symbols.ts file
causes the external symbol names to be rewritten to their internal name.
Under ngcc compilations of FESM bundles, the indirection of
r3_symbols.ts is no longer in place such that the external names are
retained in the bundle. Previously, the external name `ɵdefineNgModule`
was explicitly declared internally to resolve this issue, but the
recently added `setClassMetadata` was not declared as such, causing
runtime errors.
Instead of relying on the r3_symbols.ts file to perform the rewrite of
the external modules to their internal variants, the translation is
moved into the `ImportManager` during the compilation itself. This
avoids the need for providing the external name manually.

When compiling the flat-file version of the `@angular/core` we need to be aware
that we cannot rely upon imported names to access the ivy definition functions.
The compiler is already clever enough to use local function calls rather than
trying to add a namespaced import, but there is a problem if the local name of the
function is different to the exported name. This is the case for functions that
are not part of the public API, and so are exported under a barred-O private alias.
In `@angular/core` the only decorations in use are `@NgModule` and `@Injectable`.
There are no directives, components, pipes, etc.
Since `defineInjectable` is part of the public API of `@angular/core`, the compiler
is able to generate code that references the original non-barred-O version of the
function.
But the `defineNgModule` is not part of the public API and so the compiler must
generate code that refers to it by the private barred-O version of the function.
This commit imports and then re-exports this barred-O version of `defineModule` to
ensure that the symbol is available in the local scope of the flat-file versions of
the `@angular/core` library.

This commit causes a call to setClassMetadata() to be emitted for every
type being compiled by ngtsc (every Angular type). With this metadata,
the TestBed should be able to recompile these classes when overriding
decorator information.
Testing strategy: Tests in the previous commit for
generateSetClassMetadataCall() verify that the metadata as generated is
correct. This commit enables the generation for each DecoratorHandler,
and a test is added to ngtsc_spec to verify all decorated types have
metadata generated for them.

test(ivy): mark failing test targets with fixme-ivy-jit and fixme-ivy-local tags
PR Close#26735
We are close enough to blacklist a few test targets, rather than whitelist targets to run...
Because bazel rules can be composed of other rules that don't inherit tags automatically,
I had to explicitly mark all of our ts_library and ng_module targes with "ivy-local" and
"ivy-jit" tags so that we can create a query that excludes all fixme- tagged targets even
if those targets are composed of other targets that don't inherit this tag.
This is the updated overview of ivy related bazel tags:
- ivy-only: target that builds or runs only under ivy
- fixme-ivy-jit: target that doesn't yet build or run under ivy with --compile=jit
- fixme-ivy-local: target that doesn't yet build or run under ivy with --compile=local
- no-ivy-jit: target that is not intended to build or run under ivy with --compile=jit
- no-ivy-local: target that is not intended to build or run under ivy with --compile=local

Originally, the ivy_switch mechanism used Bazel genrules to conditionally
compile one TS file or another depending on whether ngc or ngtsc was the
selected compiler. This was done because we wanted to avoid importing
certain modules (and thus pulling them into the build) if Ivy was on or
off. This mechanism had a major drawback: ivy_switch became a bottleneck
in the import graph, as it both imports from many places in the codebase
and is imported by many modules in the codebase. This frequently resulted
in cyclic imports which caused issues both with TS and Closure compilation.
It turns out ngcc needs both code paths in the bundle to perform the switch
during its operation anyway, so import switching was later abandoned. This
means that there's no real reason why the ivy_switch mechanism needed to
operate at the Bazel level, and for the ivy_switch file to be a bottleneck.
This commit removes the Bazel-level ivy_switch mechanism, and introduces
an additional TypeScript transform in ngtsc (and the pass-through tsc
compiler used for testing JIT) to perform the same operation that ngcc
does, and flip the switch during ngtsc compilation. This allows the
ivy_switch file to be removed, and the individual switches to be located
directly next to their consumers in the codebase, greatly mitigating the
circular import issues and making the mechanism much easier to use.
As part of this commit, the tag for marking switched variables was changed
from __PRE_NGCC__ to __PRE_R3__, since it's no longer just ngcc which
flips these tags. Most variables were renamed from R3_* to SWITCH_* as well,
since they're referenced mostly in render2 code.
Test strategy: existing test coverage is more than sufficient - if this
didn't work correctly it would break the hello world and todo apps.

Provides a runtime and compile time switch for ivy including
`ApplicationRef.bootstrapModule`.
This is done by naming the symbols such that `ngcc` (angular
Compatibility compiler) can rename symbols in such a way that running
`ngcc` command will switch the `@angular/core` module from `legacy` to
`ivy` mode.
This is done as follows:
```
const someToken__PRE_NGCC__ = ‘legacy mode’;
const someToken__POST_NGCC__ = ‘ivy mode’;
export someSymbol = someToken__PRE_NGCC__;
```
The `ngcc` will search for any token which ends with `__PRE_NGCC__`
and replace it with `__POST_NGCC__`. This allows the `@angular/core`
package to be rewritten to ivy mode post `ngcc` execution.

This change makes sure that we have the original text, but it *DOES NOT*

Fixes#25018.
Instantiating a NgModuleRef from NgModuleFactory reuses the NgModuleDefinition if it is already present. However the NgModuleDefinition has a providers array which modified when tree shakable providers are instantiated. This corrupts the provider definitions the next time the same factory is used to create a new NgModuleRef - Two provider definitions can end up with the same index anf the injector could potentially return a completely wrong object for a provider token.
This scenario is more likely on the server where the same NgModuleFactory is reused across requests.
The fix clones the cached NgModuleDefinition so that any tree shakable providers added later do not affect the cached copy.

Previously ngtsc would use a tuple of class types for listing metadata
in .d.ts files. For example, an @NgModule's declarations might be
represented with the type:
[NgIf, NgForOf, NgClass]
If the module had no declarations, an empty tuple [] would be produced.
This has two problems.
1. If the class type has generic type parameters, TypeScript will
complain that they're not provided.
2. The empty tuple type is not actually legal.
This commit addresses both problems.
1. Class types are now represented using the `typeof` operator, so the
above declarations would be represented as:
[typeof NgIf, typeof NgForOf, typeof NgClass].
Since typeof operates on a value, it doesn't require generic type
arguments.
2. Instead of an empty tuple, `never` is used to indicate no metadata.

PR Close#24138
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.
