Prior to this commit, the unknown element can happen twice for AOT-compiled components: once during compilation and once again at runtime. Due to the fact that `schemas` information is not present on Component and NgModule defs after AOT compilation, the second check (at runtime) may fail, even though the same check was successful at compile time. This commit updates the code to avoid the second check for AOT-compiled components by checking whether `schemas` information is present in a logic that executes the unknown element check.

When creating synthesized tagged template literals, one must provide both
the "cooked" text and the "raw" (unparsed) text. Previously there were no
good APIs for creating the AST nodes with raw text for such literals.
Recently the APIs were improved to support this, and they do an extra
check to ensure that the raw text parses to be equal to the cooked text.
It turns out there is a bug in this check -
see https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/35374.
This commit works around the bug by synthesizing a "head" node and morphing
it by changing its `kind` into the required node type.

Previously, our incremental build system kept track of the changes between
the current compilation and the previous one, and used its knowledge of
inter-file dependencies to evaluate the impact of each change and emit the
right set of output files.
However, a problem arose if the compiler was not able to extract a
dependency graph successfully. This typically happens if the input program
contains errors. In this case the Angular analysis part of compilation is
never executed.
If a file changed in one of these failed builds, in the next build it
appears unchanged. This means that the compiler "forgets" to emit it!
To fix this problem, the compiler needs to know the set of changes made
_since the last successful build_, not simply since the last invocation.
This commit changes the incremental state system to much more explicitly
pass information from the previous to the next compilation, and in the
process to keep track of changes across multiple failed builds, until the
program can be analyzed successfully and the results of those changes
incorporated into the emit plan.

NgModules in Ivy have a definition which contains various different bits
of metadata about the module. In particular, this metadata falls into two
categories:
* metadata required to use the module at runtime (for bootstrapping, etc)
in AOT-only applications.
* metadata required to depend on the module from a JIT-compiled app.
The latter metadata consists of the module's declarations, imports, and
exports. To support JIT usage, this metadata must be included in the
generated code, especially if that code is shipped to NPM. However, because
this metadata preserves the entire NgModule graph (references to all
directives and components in the app), it needs to be removed during
optimization for AOT-only builds.
Previously, this was done with a clever design:
1. The extra metadata was added by a function called `setNgModuleScope`.
A call to this function was generated after each NgModule.
2. This function call was marked as "pure" with a comment and used
`noSideEffects` internally, which causes optimizers to remove it.
The effect was that in dev mode or test mode (which use JIT), no optimizer
runs and the full NgModule metadata was available at runtime. But in
production (presumably AOT) builds, the optimizer runs and removes the JIT-
specific metadata.
However, there are cases where apps that want to use JIT in production, and
still make an optimized build. In this case, the JIT-specific metadata would
be erroneously removed. This commit solves that problem by adding an
`ngJitMode` global variable which guards all `setNgModuleScope` calls. An
optimizer can be configured to statically define this global to be `false`
for AOT-only builds, causing the extra metadata to be stripped.
A configuration for Terser used by the CLI is provided in `tooling.ts` which
sets `ngJitMode` to `false` when building AOT apps.

The Ivy template type-checker is capable of inferring the type of a
structural directive (such as NgForOf<T>). Previously, this was done with
fullTemplateTypeCheck: true, even if strictTemplates was false. View Engine
previously did not do this inference, and so this causes breakages if the
type of the template context is not what the user expected.
In particular, consider the template:
```html
<div *ngFor="let user of users as all">
{{user.index}} out of {{all.length}}
</div>
```
As long as `users` is an array, this seems reasonable, because it appears
that `all` is an alias for the `users` array. However, this is misleading.
In reality, `NgForOf` is rendered with a template context that contains
both a `$implicit` value (for the loop variable `user`) as well as a
`ngForOf` value, which is the actual value assigned to `all`. The type of
`NgForOf`'s template context is `NgForContext<T>`, which declares `ngForOf`'s
type to be `NgIterable<T>`, which does not have a `length` property (due to
its incorporation of the `Iterable` type).
This commit stops the template type-checker from inferring template context
types unless strictTemplates is set (and strictInputTypes is not disabled).

Previously, the ngtsc compiler attempted to reuse analysis work from the
previous program during an incremental build. To do this, it had to prove
that the work was safe to reuse - that no changes made to the new program
would invalidate the previous analysis.
The implementation of this had a significant design flaw: if the previous
program had errors, the previous analysis would be missing significant
information, and the dependency graph extracted from it would not be
sufficient to determine which files should be re-analyzed to fill in the
gaps. This often meant that the build output after an error was resolved
would be wholly incorrect.
This commit switches ngtsc to take a simpler approach to incremental
rebuilds. Instead of attempting to reuse prior analysis work, the entire
program is re-analyzed with each compilation. This is actually not as
expensive as one might imagine - analysis is a fairly small part of overall
compilation time.
Based on the dependency graph extracted during this analysis, the compiler
then can make accurate decisions on whether to emit specific files. A new
suite of tests is added to validate behavior in the presence of source code
level errors.
This new approach is dramatically simpler than the previous algorithm, and
should always produce correct results for a semantically correct program.s

Originally, QueryList implemented Iterable and provided a Symbol.iterator
on its prototype. This caused issues with tree-shaking, so QueryList was
refactored and the Symbol.iterator added in its constructor instead. As
part of this change, QueryList no longer implemented Iterable directly.
Unfortunately, this meant that QueryList was no longer assignable to
Iterable or, consequently, NgIterable. NgIterable is used for NgFor's input,
so this meant that QueryList was not usable (in a type sense) for NgFor
iteration. View Engine's template type checking would not catch this, but
Ivy's did.
As a fix, this commit adds the declaration (but not the implementation) of
the Symbol.iterator function back to QueryList. This has no runtime effect,

QueryList is assignable to NgIterable and thus usable with NgFor.

Previously, the compiler assumed that all TS files logically within a
project existed under one or more "root directories". If the TS compiler
option `rootDir` or `rootDirs` was set, they would dictate the root
directories in use, otherwise the current directory was used.
Unfortunately this assumption was unfounded - it's common for projects
without explicit `rootDirs` to import from files outside the current
working directory. In such cases the `LogicalProjectStrategy` would attempt
to generate imports into those files, and fail. This would lead to no
`ReferenceEmitStrategy` being able to generate an import, and end in a
compiler assertion failure.

During incremental compilations, ngtsc needs to know which metadata
from a previous compilation can be reused, versus which metadata has to
be recomputed as some dependency was updated. Changes to
directives/components should cause the NgModule in which they are
declared to be recompiled, as the NgModule's compilation is dependent
on its directives/components.
When a dependent source file of a directive/component is updated,
however, a more subtle dependency should also cause to NgModule's source
file to be invalidated. During the reconciliation of state from a
previous compilation into the new program, the component's source file
is invalidated because one of its dependency has changed, ergo the
NgModule needs to be invalidated as well. Up until now, this implicit
dependency was not imposed on the NgModule. Additionally, any change to
a dependent file may influence the module scope to change, so all
components within the module must be invalidated as well.
This commit fixes the bug by introducing additional file dependencies,
as to ensure a proper rebuild of the module scope and its components.

For abstract directives, i.e. directives without a selector, it may
happen that their constructor is called explicitly from a subclass,
hence its parameters are not required to be valid for Angular's DI
purposes. Prior to this commit however, having an abstract directive
with a constructor that has parameters that are not eligible for
Angular's DI would produce a compilation error.
A similar scenario may occur for `@Injectable`s, where an explicit
`use*` definition allows for the constructor to be irrelevant. For
example, the situation where `useFactory` is specified allows for the
constructor to be called explicitly with any value, so its constructor
parameters are not required to be valid. For `@Injectable`s this is
handled by generating a DI factory function that throws.
This commit implements the same solution for abstract directives, such
that a compilation error is avoided while still producing an error at
runtime if the type is instantiated implicitly by Angular's DI
mechanism.

Recently it was made possible to have a directive without selector,
which are referred to as abstract directives. Such directives should not
be registered in an NgModule, but can still contain decorators for
inputs, outputs, queries, etc. The information from these decorators and
the `@Directive()` decorator itself needs to be registered with the
central `MetadataRegistry` so that other areas of the compiler can
request information about a given directive, an example of which is the
template type checker that needs to know about the inputs and outputs of
directives.
Prior to this change, however, abstract directives would only register
themselves with the `MetadataRegistry` as being an abstract directive,
without all of its other metadata like inputs and outputs. This meant
that the template type checker was unable to resolve the inputs and
outputs of these abstract directives, therefore failing to check them
correctly. The typical error would be that some property does not exist
on a DOM element, whereas said property should have been bound to the
abstract directive's input.
This commit fixes the problem by always registering the metadata of a
directive or component with the `MetadataRegistry`. Tests have been
added to ensure abstract directives are handled correctly in the
template type checker, together with tests to verify the form of
abstract directives in declaration files.

Often the types of an `@Input`'s field don't fully reflect the types of
assignable values. This can happen when an input has a getter/setter pair
where the getter always returns a narrow type, and the setter coerces a
wider value down to the narrow type.
For example, you could imagine an input of the form:
```typescript
@Input() get value(): string {
return this._value;
}
set value(v: {toString(): string}) {
this._value = v.toString();
}
```
Here, the getter always returns a `string`, but the setter accepts any value
that can be `toString()`'d, and coerces it to a string.
Unfortunately TypeScript does not actually support this syntax, and so
Angular users are forced to type their setters as narrowly as the getters,
even though at runtime the coercion works just fine.
To support these kinds of patterns (e.g. as used by Material), this commit
adds a compiler feature called "input coercion". When a binding is made to
the 'value' input of a directive like MatInput, the compiler will look for a
static field with the name ngAcceptInputType_value. If such a field is found
the type-checking expression for the input will use the static field's type
instead of the type for the @Input field,allowing for the expression of a
type conversion between the binding expression and the value being written
to the input's field.
To solve the case above, for example, MatInput might write:
```typescript
class MatInput {
// rest of the directive...
static ngAcceptInputType_value: {toString(): string};

This commit refactors the aliasing system to support multiple different
AliasingHost implementations, which control specific aliasing behavior
in ngtsc (see the README.md).
A new host is introduced, the `PrivateExportAliasingHost`. This solves a
longstanding problem in ngtsc regarding support for "monorepo" style private
libraries. These are libraries which are compiled separately from the main
application, and depended upon through TypeScript path mappings. Such
libraries are frequently not in the Angular Package Format and do not have
entrypoints, but rather make use of deep import style module specifiers.
This can cause issues with ngtsc's ability to import a directive given the
module specifier of its NgModule.
For example, if the application uses a directive `Foo` from such a library
`foo`, the user might write:
```typescript
import {FooModule} from 'foo/module';
```
In this case, foo/module.d.ts is path-mapped into the program. Ordinarily
the compiler would see this as an absolute module specifier, and assume that
the `Foo` directive can be imported from the same specifier. For such non-
APF libraries, this assumption fails. Really `Foo` should be imported from
the file which declares it, but there are two problems with this:
1. The compiler would have to reverse the path mapping in order to determine
a path-mapped path to the file (maybe foo/dir.d.ts).
2. There is no guarantee that the file containing the directive is path-
mapped in the program at all.
The compiler would effectively have to "guess" 'foo/dir' as a module
specifier, which may or may not be accurate depending on how the library and
path mapping are set up.
It's strongly desirable that the compiler not break its current invariant
that the module specifier given by the user for the NgModule is always the
module specifier from which directives/pipes are imported. Thus, for any
given NgModule from a particular module specifier, it must always be
possible to import any directives/pipes from the same specifier, no matter
how it's packaged.
To make this possible, when compiling a file containing an NgModule, ngtsc
will automatically add re-exports for any directives/pipes not yet exported
by the user, with a name of the form: ɵngExportɵModuleNameɵDirectiveName
This has several effects:
1. It guarantees anyone depending on the NgModule will be able to import its
directives/pipes from the same specifier.
2. It maintains a stable name for the exported symbol that is safe to depend
on from code on NPM. Effectively, this private exported name will be a
part of the package's .d.ts API, and cannot be changed in a non-breaking
fashion.

This commit adds functionality to the template type checker in order to
type check both kind of event bindings. This means that the correctness
of the bindings expressions, as well as the type of the `$event`
variable will now be taken into account during template type checking.

Prior to this change, a static attribute that corresponds with a
directive's input would not be type-checked against the type of the
input. This is unfortunate, as a static value always has type `string`,
whereas the directive's input type might be something different. This
typically occurs when a developer forgets to enclose the attribute name
in brackets to make it a property binding.
This commit lets static attributes be considered as bindings with string
values, so that they will be properly type-checked.

Prior to this change, the template type checker would always allow a
value of type `undefined` to be passed into a directive's inputs, even
if the input's type did not allow for it. This was due to how the type
constructor for a directive was generated, where a `Partial` mapped
type was used to allow for inputs to be unset. This essentially
introduces the `undefined` type as acceptable type for all inputs.
This commit removes the `Partial` type from the type constructor, which
means that we can no longer omit any properties that were unset.
Instead, any properties that are not set will still be included in the
type constructor call, having their value assigned to `any`.
Before:
```typescript
class NgForOf<T> {
static ngTypeCtor<T>(init: Partial<Pick<NgForOf<T>,

For v9 we want the migration to the new i18n to be as
simple as possible.
Previously the developer had to positively choose to use
legacy messsage id support in the case that their translation
files had not been migrated to the new format by setting the
`legacyMessageIdFormat` option in tsconfig.json to the format
of their translation files.
Now this setting has been changed to `enableI18nLegacyMessageFormat`

the `i18nInFormat` option, which was previously used to trigger translations
in the pre-ivy angular compiler.

The `$localize` library uses a new message digest function for
computing message ids. This means that translations in legacy
translation files will no longer match the message ids in the code
and so will not be translated.
This commit adds the ability to specify the format of your legacy
translation files, so that the appropriate message id can be rendered
in the `$localize` tagged strings. This results in larger code size
and requires that all translations are in the legacy format.
Going forward the developer should migrate their translation files
to use the new message id format.
PR Close#32937
In an attempt to be compatible with previous translation files
the Angular compiler was generating instructions that always
included the message id. This was because it was not possible
to accurately re-generate the id from the calls to `$localize()` alone.
In line with https://hackmd.io/EQF4_-atSXK4XWg8eAha2g this
commit changes the compiler so that it only renders ids if they are
"custom" ones provided by the template author.
NOTE:
When translating messages generated by the Angular compiler
from i18n tags in templates, the `$localize.translate()` function
will compute message ids, if no custom id is provided, using a
common digest function that only relies upon the information
available in the `$localize()` calls.
This computed message id will not be the same as the message
ids stored in legacy translation files. Such files will need to be
migrated to use the new common digest function.
This only affects developers who have been trialling `$localize`, have
been calling `loadTranslations()`, and are not exclusively using custom
ids in their templates.

With #31953 we moved the factories for components, directives and pipes into a new field called `ngFactoryDef`, however I decided not to do it for injectables, because they needed some extra logic. These changes set up the `ngFactoryDef` for injectables as well.
For reference, the extra logic mentioned above is that for injectables we have two code paths:
1. For injectables that don't configure how they should be instantiated, we create a `factory` that proxies to `ngFactoryDef`:
```
// Source
@Injectable()
class Service {}
// Output
class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => Service.ngFactoryFn(),
});
static ngFactoryFn: (t) => new (t || Service)();
}
```
2. For injectables that do configure how they're created, we keep the `ngFactoryDef` and generate the factory based on the metadata:
```
// Source
@Injectable({
useValue: DEFAULT_IMPL,
})
class Service {}
// Output
export class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => DEFAULT_IMPL,
});
static ngFactoryFn: (t) => new (t || Service)();
}

This commit fixes the problem by including `ngProjectAs` into attributes array as a regular attribute and also makes sure that the parsed version of the `ngProjectAs` attribute with a special marker is added after regular attributes (thus we set them correctly at runtime).

Now that the `$localize` translations are `MessageId` based the
compiler must render `MessageId`s in its generated `$localize` code.
This is because the `MessageId` used by the compiler is computed
from information that does not get passed through to the `$localize`
tagged string.
For example, the generated code for the following template
```html
<div id="static" i18n-title="m|d" title="introduction"></div>
```
will contain these localization statements
```ts
if (ngI18nClosureMode) {
/**
* @desc d
* @meaning m
*/
const MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1 = goog.getMsg("introduction");
I18N_1 = MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1;
}
else {
I18N_1 = $localize \`:m|d@@8809028065680254561:introduction\`;
}
```
Since `$localize` is not able to accurately regenerate the source-message
(and so the `MessageId`) from the generated code, it must rely upon the
`MessageId` being provided explicitly in the generated code.
The compiler now prepends all localized messages with a "metadata block"
containing the id (and the meaning and description if defined).
Note that this metadata block will also allow translation file extraction
from the compiled code - rather than relying on the legacy ViewEngine
extraction code. (This will be implemented post-v9).
Although these metadata blocks add to the initial code size, compile-time
inlining will completely remove these strings and so will not impact on
production bundle size.

Prior to this change, the template source mapping details were always
built during the analysis phase, under the assumption that pre-analysed
templates would always correspond with external templates. This has
turned out to be a false assumption, as inline templates are also
pre-analyzed to be able to preload any stylesheets included in the
template.
This commit fixes the bug by capturing the template source mapping
details at the moment the template is parsed, which is either during the
preanalysis phase when preloading is available, or during the analysis
phase when preloading is not supported.
Tests have been added to exercise the template error mapping in
asynchronous compilations where preloading is enabled, similar to how

Prior to this commit, complex expressions (that require additional statements to be generated) were handled incorrectly in case they were used in attributes annotated with i18n flags.

Previously the template compiler would generate the same jsdoc comment
block for `$localize` as for `goog.getMsg()`. But it turns out that
the closure compiler will complain if the `@desc` and `@meaning`

For now we do not generate the comments for `$localize` calls. They are
not being used at the moment.
In the future it would be good to be able to extract the descriptions and
meanings from the `$localize` calls rather than relying upon the `getMsg()`
calls, which we do now. So we need to find a workaround for this constraint.

This commit changes the Angular compiler (ivy-only) to generate `$localize`
tagged strings for component templates that use `i18n` attributes.
BREAKING CHANGE
Since `$localize` is a global function, it must be included in any applications
that use i18n. This is achieved by importing the `@angular/localize` package
into an appropriate bundle, where it will be executed before the renderer
needs to call `$localize`. For CLI based projects, this is best done in
the `polyfills.ts` file.
```ts
import '@angular/localize';
```
For non-CLI applications this could be added as a script to the index.html
file or another suitable script file.

In ngc is was valid to set the "flatModuleOutFile" option to "null". This is sometimes
necessary if a tsconfig extends from another one but the "fatModuleOutFile" option
needs to be unset (note that "undefined" does not exist as value in JSON)
Now if ngtsc is used to compile the project, ngtsc will fail with an error because it
tries to do string manipulation on the "flatModuleOutFile". This happens because
ngtsc only skips flat module indices if the option is set to "undefined".
Since this is not compatible with what was supported in ngc and such exceptions
should be avoided, the flat module check is now aligned with ngc.
```

```
Additionally setting the `flatModuleOutFile` option to an empty string
currently results in unexpected behavior. No errors is thrown, but the
flat module index file will be `.ts` (no file name; just extension).
This is now also fixed by treating an empty string similarly to
`null`.

Previously, ngtsc attempted to use the .d.ts schema for HTML elements to
check bindings to DOM properties. However, the TypeScript lib.dom.d.ts
schema does not perfectly align with the Angular DomElementSchemaRegistry,
and these inconsistencies would cause issues in apps. There is also the
concern of supporting both CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA and NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA which
would have been very difficult to do in the existing system.
With this commit, the DomElementSchemaRegistry is employed in ngtsc to check
bindings to the DOM. Previous work on producing template diagnostics is used
to support generation of this different kind of error with the same high
quality of error message.
PR Close#32171
Historically, the Angular Compiler has produced both native TypeScript
diagnostics (called ts.Diagnostics) and its own internal Diagnostic format
(called an api.Diagnostic). This was done because TypeScript ts.Diagnostics
cannot be produced for files not in the ts.Program, and template type-
checking diagnostics are naturally produced for external .html template
files.
This design isn't optimal for several reasons:
1) Downstream tooling (such as the CLI) must support multiple formats of
diagnostics, adding to the maintenance burden.
2) ts.Diagnostics have gotten a lot better in recent releases, with support
for suggested changes, highlighting of the code in question, etc. None of
these changes have been of any benefit for api.Diagnostics, which have
continued to be reported in a very primitive fashion.
3) A future plugin model will not support anything but ts.Diagnostics, so
generating api.Diagnostics is a blocker for ngtsc-as-a-plugin.
4) The split complicates both the typings and the testing of ngtsc.
To fix this issue, this commit changes template type-checking to produce
ts.Diagnostics instead. Instead of reporting a special kind of diagnostic
for external template files, errors in a template are always reported in
a ts.Diagnostic that highlights the portion of the template which contains
the error. When this template text is distinct from the source .ts file
(for example, when the template is parsed from an external resource file),
additional contextual information links the error back to the originating
component.
A template error can thus be reported in 3 separate ways, depending on how
the template was configured:
1) For inline template strings which can be directly mapped to offsets in
the TS code, ts.Diagnostics point to real ranges in the source.
This is the case if an inline template is used with a string literal or a
"no-substitution" string. For example:
```typescript
@Component({..., template: `
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
`})
export class TestCmp {
bar: string;
}
```
The above template contains an error (no 'baz' property of `TestCmp`). The
error produced by TS will look like:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
test.ts:2:11 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'. Did you mean 'bar'?
```
2) For template strings which cannot be directly mapped to offsets in the
TS code, a logical offset into the template string will be included in
the error message. For example:
```typescript
const SOME_TEMPLATE = '<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>';
@Component({..., template: SOME_TEMPLATE})
export class TestCmp {
bar: string;
}
```
Because the template is a reference to another variable and is not an
inline string constant, the compiler will not be able to use "absolute"
positions when parsing the template. As a result, errors will report logical
offsets into the template string:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
test.ts (TestCmp template):2:15 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'.
test.ts:3:28
@Component({..., template: TEMPLATE})
~~~~~~~~
Error occurs in the template of component TestCmp.
```
This error message uses logical offsets into the template string, and also
gives a reference to the `TEMPLATE` expression from which the template was
parsed. This helps in locating the component which contains the error.
3) For external templates (templateUrl), the error message is delivered
within the HTML template file (testcmp.html) instead, and additional
information contextualizes the error on the templateUrl expression from
which the template file was determined:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
testcmp.html:2:15 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'.
test.ts:10:31
@Component({..., templateUrl: './testcmp.html'})
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error occurs in the template of component TestCmp.

Applications that run ngc will now by default receive an Ivy build!
This does not affect the way Bazel builds in the Angular repo work, since

Additionally, projects using @angular/bazel still use View Engine builds
by default.
Since most of the Angular repo tests are still written against View Engine
(particularly because we still publish VE packages to NPM), this switch
also requires lots of `enableIvy: false` flags in tsconfigs throughout the

In Angular today, the following pattern works:
```typescript
export class BaseDir {
constructor(@Inject(ViewContainerRef) protected vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({
selector: '[child]',
})
export class ChildDir extends BaseDir {
// constructor inherited from BaseDir
}
```
A decorated child class can inherit a constructor from an undecorated base
class, so long as the base class has metadata of its own (for JIT mode).
This pattern works regardless of metadata in AOT.
In Angular Ivy, this pattern does not work: without the @Directive
annotation identifying the base class as a directive, information about its
constructor parameters will not be captured by the Ivy compiler. This is a
result of Ivy's locality principle, which is the basis behind a number of
compilation optimizations.
As a solution, @Directive() without a selector will be interpreted as a
"directive base class" annotation. Such a directive cannot be declared in an
NgModule, but can be inherited from. To implement this, a few changes are
made to the ngc compiler:
* the error for a selector-less directive is now generated when an NgModule
declaring it is processed, not when the directive itself is processed.
* selector-less directives are not tracked along with other directives in
the compiler, preventing other errors (like their absence in an NgModule)
from being generated from them.

canonical "containing file" when performing module resolution.
This file is unnecessary since the language service host's current
directory always default to the location of tsconfig.json for the
project, which would give the correct result.
This refactoring allows us to simplify the "typescript host" and also
removes the need for custom logic to find tsconfig.json.
