Currently when `ɵɵtemplate` and `ɵɵelement` instructions are generated by compiler, all static attributes are
duplicated for both instructions. As a part of this duplication, i18n translation blocks for static i18n attributes
are generated twice as well, causing duplicate entries in extracted translation files (when Ivy extraction mechanisms
are used). This commit fixes this issue by introducing a cache for i18n translation blocks (for static attributes
only).
Also this commit further aligns `ɵɵtemplate` and `ɵɵelement` instruction attributes, which should help implement
more effective attributes deduplication logic.

This commit introduces an `isStructural` flag on directive metadata, which
is `true` if the directive injects `TemplateRef` (and thus is at least
theoretically usable as a structural directive). The flag is not used for
anything currently, but will be utilized by the Language Service to offer
better autocompletion results for structural directives.

This commit adds two new APIs to the `TemplateTypeChecker`:
`getPotentialDomBindings` and `getDirectiveMetadata`. Together, these will

Prior to this change, the `setClassMetadata` call would be invoked
inside of an IIFE that was marked as pure. This allows the call to be
tree-shaken away in production builds, as the `setClassMetadata` call
is only present to make the original class metadata available to the
testing infrastructure. The pure marker is problematic, though, as the
`setClassMetadata` call does in fact have the side-effect of assigning
the metadata into class properties. This has worked under the assumption
that only build optimization tools perform tree-shaking, however modern
bundlers are also able to elide calls that have been marked pure so this
assumption does no longer hold. Instead, an `ngDevMode` guard is used
which still allows the call to be elided but only by tooling that is
configured to consider `ngDevMode` as constant `false` value.

Currently the compiler treats something like `{{ '{{a}}' }}` as a nested

Add a TaggedTemplateExpr to represent tagged template literals in
Angular's syntax tree (more specifically Expression in output_ast.ts).
Also update classes that implement ExpressionVisitor to add support for
tagged template literals in different contexts, such as JIT compilation
and conversion to JS.
Partial support for tagged template literals had already been
implemented to support the $localize tag used by Angular's i18n

arbitrary tags, although completely replacing the i18n-specific support
for the $localize tag with the new generic support for tagged template
literals may not be completely trivial, and is left as future work.

This commit does not yet enable accurate source maps into external

When the `preserveWhitespaces` is not true, the template parser will
process the parsed AST nodes to remove excess whitespace. Since the
generated `goog.getMsg()` statements rely upon the AST nodes after
this whitespace is removed, the i18n extraction must make a second pass.
Previously this resulted in innacurrate source-spans for the i18n text and

The result of utf-8 encoding a string was represented in a string, where
each individual character represented a single byte according to its
character code. All usages of this data were interested in the byte
itself, so this required conversion from a character back to its code.
This commit simply stores the individual bytes in array to avoid the
conversion. This yields a ~10% performance improvement for i18n message
ID computation.
PR Close#39694
Message ID computation makes extensive use of big integer
multiplications in order to translate the message's fingerprint into
a numerical representation. In large compilations with heavy use of i18n
this was showing up high in profiler sessions.
There are two factors contributing to the bottleneck:
1. a suboptimal big integer representation using strings, which requires
repeated allocation and conversion from a character to numeric digits
and back.
2. repeated computation of the necessary base-256 exponents and their
multiplication factors.
The first bottleneck is addressed using a representation that uses an
array of individual digits. This avoids repeated conversion and
allocation overhead is also greatly reduced, as adding two big integers
can now be done in-place with virtually no memory allocations.
The second point is addressed by a memoized exponentiation pool to
optimize the multiplication of a base-256 exponent.
As an additional optimization are the two 32-bit words now converted to
decimal per word, instead of going through an intermediate byte buffer
and doing the decimal conversion per byte.
The results of these optimizations depend a lot on the number of i18n
messages for which a message should be computed. Benchmarks have shown
that computing message IDs is now ~6x faster for 1,000 messages, ~14x
faster for 10,000 messages, and ~24x faster for 100,000 messages.

JIT needs to identify which type is `ChangeDetectorRef`. It was doing so
by importing `ChangeDetectorRef` and than comparing the types. This creates
circular dependency as well as prevents tree shaking. The new solution is

without creating circular dependency.

Similar to #39613, #39609, and #38898, we should store the `keySpan` for
Reference nodes so that we can accurately map from a template node to a
span in the original file. This is most notably an issue at the moment
for directive references `#ref="exportAs"`. The current behavior for the
language service when requesting information for the reference
is that it will return a text span that results in
highlighting the entire source when it should only highlight "ref" (test
added for this case as well).

Though we currently have the knowledge of where the `key` for an
event binding appears during parsing, we do not propagate this
information to the output AST. This means that once we produce the
template AST, we have no way of mapping a template position to the key
span alone. The best we can currently do is map back to the
`sourceSpan`. This presents problems downstream, specifically for the
language service, where we cannot provide correct information about a
position in a template because the AST is not granular enough.
This is essentially identical to the change from #38898, but for event
bindings rather than input bindings.

Tokenized text node may have leading whitespace skipped from their
source-span. But the source-span is used to compute where there are
interpolated blocks, resulting in placeholder nodes whose source-spans

the source-span of placeholders, so that they are accurate.

The lexer is able to skip leading trivia in the `start` location of tokens.
This makes the source-span more friendly since things like elements
appear to begin at the start of the opening tag, rather than at the
start of any leading whitespace, which could include newlines.
But some tooling requires the full source-span to be available, such
as when tokenizing a text span into an Angular expression.

Currently expressions `$event.foo()` and `this.$event.foo()`, as well as `$any(foo)` and
`this.$any(foo)`, are treated as the same expression by the compiler, because `this` is considered
the same implicit receiver as when the receiver is omitted. This introduces the following issues:
1. Any time something called `$any` is used, it'll be stripped away, leaving only the first parameter.
2. If something called `$event` is used anywhere in a template, it'll be preserved as `$event`,
rather than being rewritten to `ctx.$event`, causing the value to undefined at runtime. This
applies to listener, property and text bindings.
These changes resolve the first issue and part of the second one by preserving anything that
is accessed through `this`, even if it's one of the "special" ones like `$any` or `$event`.
Furthermore, these changes only expose the `$event` global variable inside event listeners,
whereas previously it was available everywhere.

To support recovery of malformed binding property names like `([a)`,
`[a`, or `()`, the binding parser needs to be more permissive w.r.t. the
kinds of bindings it can detect. This is difficult to do maintainably
with a regex, but is trivial with a "hand-rolled" string parser. This
commit refactors render3's binding attribute parsing to use this method
for multi-delimited bindings (namely via the `()`, `[]`, and `[()]`)
syntax, making the way recovery of malformed bindings in a future patch.
Note that we can keep using a regex for prefix-only binding syntax
(e.g. `bind-`, `ref-`) because validation of the binding is complete
once we have matched the prefix, and the only thing left to do is check
that the binding identifier is non-empty, which is trivial.

This is follow-up from [an earlier discussion](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/39408#discussion_r511908358).
After some testing, it looks like the type of `Element.attributes` was correct in specifying that it

pipes.
