ngc can now validate metadata before emitting to verify it doesn't
contain an error symbol that will result in a runtime error if
it is used by the StaticReflector.
To enable this add the section,
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"strictMetadataEmit": true
}
to the top level of the tsconfig.json file passed to ngc.
Enabled metadata validation for packages that are intended to be
used statically.
Prior to this change `ngc` would place generated files which refer
to components in the node_modules into the node_module. This is an
issue. Now all of the files are forced into a single directory
as specified in `tsconfig.json` by the `genDir` option.

RelectorHost threw an exception when metadata was requested for a
.d.ts file that didn't have a .metadata.json file. Changed it to
return undefined.
Fixes#9678
Refactored ReflectorHost to allow it to be tested.
Fixed an issue where the .d.ts was findable but it wasn't used by the project
(This happens when the .metadata.json file references a module that was not
needed, such as it doesn't declare any types, and the reference to it was
elided by TypeScript when writing the .d.ts file).
Added tests for ReflectorHost
