When the `NgIf` directive is used in a template, its context variables
can be used to capture the bound value. This is sometimes used in
complex expressions, where the resulting value is captured in a
context variable. There's two syntax forms available:
1. Binding to `NgIfContext.ngIf` using the `as` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="enabled && user as u">{{u.name}}</span>
```
2. Binding to `NgIfContext.$implicit` using the `let` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="enabled && user; let u">{{u.name}}</span>
```
Because of the semantics of `ngIf`, it is known that the captured
context variable is truthy, however the template type checker
would not consider them as such and still report errors when
`strict` is enabled.
This commit updates `NgIf`'s context guard to make the types of the
context variables truthy, avoiding the issue.

ReadonlyMap is a superset of Map, in keyValuePipe we do not change the value of the object so ReadonlyPipe Works right in this case and we can accomodate more types. To accomodate more types added ReadonlyMap in Key Value pipe.

`KeyValuePipe` currently accepts `null` values as well as `Map`s and a
few others. However, due to the way in which TS overloads work, a type
of `T|null` will not be accepted by `KeyValuePipe`'s signatures, even
though both `T` and `null` individually would be.
To make this work, each signature that accepts some type `T` has been
duplicated with a second one below it that accepts a `T|null` and
includes `null` in its return type.
