When the `NgIf` directive is used in a template, its context variables
can be used to capture the bound value. This is typically used together
with a pipe or function call, 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="(user$ | async) as user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
2. Binding to `NgIfContext.$implicit` using the `let` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="user$ | async; let user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
Because of the semantics of `ngIf`, it is known that the captured
context variable is non-nullable, however the template type checker
would not consider them as such and still report errors when
`strictNullTypes` is enabled.
This commit updates `NgIf`'s context guard to make the types of the
context variables non-nullable, avoiding the issue.

Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.

NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

NOTE: This change deletes code and creates a BROKEN SHA. If reverting this SHA needs to be reverted with the next SHA to get back into a valid state.
The change removes the fact that `NgStyle`/`NgClass` is special and colaborates with the `[style]`/`[class]` to merge its styles. By reverting to old behavior we have better backwards compatiblity since it is no longer treated special and simply overwrites the styles (same as VE)

The `computeStaticStyling` will be used for computing static styling value during `firstCreatePass`.
The function takes into account static styling from the template as well as from the host bindings. The host bindings need to be merged in front of the template so that they have the correct priority.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

With 5cecd97493 we intended to expand
the input type of the `disabled` input of the `NgModel` directive.
Read more about the reason for this in the actual commit message.
Currently though, the acceptance coercion member does not have any
effect. This is because the acceptance member needs to refer to the
actual input property name, and not to the public input name.
`disabled` corresponds to the `isDisabled` property.
PR Close#34502
NgModel internally coerces any arbitrary value that will assigned
to the `disabled` `@Input` to a boolean. This has been done to
support the common case where developers set the disabled attribute
without a value. For example:
```html
<input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="value" disabled>
```
This worked in View Engine without any errors because inputs were
not strictly checked. In Ivy though, developers can opt-in into
strict template type checking where the attribute would be flagged.
This is because the `NgModel#isDisabled` property type-wise only
accepts a `boolean`. To ensure that the common pattern described
above can still be used, and to reflect the actual runtime behavior,
we should add an acceptance member that makes it work without type
checking errors.
Using a coercion member means that this is not a breaking change.

Occasionally a factory function needs to be generated for an "invalid"
constructor (one with parameters types which aren't injectable). Typically
this happens in JIT mode where understanding of parameters cannot be done in
the same "up-front" way that the AOT compiler can.
This commit changes the JIT compiler to generate a new `invalidFactoryDep`
call for each invalid parameter. This instruction will error at runtime if
called, indicating both the index of the invalid parameter as well as (via
the stack trace) the factory function which was generated for the type being
constructed.

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,
so it doesn't affect tree-shaking of QueryList, but it ensures that
QueryList is assignable to NgIterable and thus usable with NgFor.

Most of the use of `document` in the framework is within
the DI so they just inject the `DOCUMENT` token and are done.
Ivy is special because it does not rely upon the DI and must
get hold of the document some other way. There are a limited
number of places relevant to ivy that currently consume a global
document object.
The solution is modelled on the `LOCALE_ID` approach, which has
`getLocaleId()` and `setLocaleId()` top-level functions for ivy (see
`core/src/render3/i18n.ts`). In the rest of Angular (i.e. using DI) the
`LOCALE_ID` token has a provider that also calls setLocaleId() to
ensure that ivy has the same value.
This commit defines `getDocument()` and `setDocument() `top-level
functions for ivy. Wherever ivy needs the global `document`, it calls
`getDocument()` instead. Each of the platforms (e.g. Browser, Server,
WebWorker) have providers for `DOCUMENT`. In each of those providers
they also call `setDocument()` accordingly.

Now that we've replaced `ngBaseDef` with an abstract directive definition, there are a lot more cases where we generate a directive definition without a selector. These changes make it so that we don't generate the `selectors` array if it's going to be empty.

Removes `ngBaseDef` from the compiler and any runtime code that was still referring to it. In the cases where we'd previously generate a base def we now generate a definition for an abstract directive.
PR Close#33264
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.

This commit adds CopyDefinitionFeature, which supports the case where an
entire decorator (@Component or @Directive) is inherited from parent to
child.
The existing inheritance feature, InheritDefinitionFeature, supports merging
of parent and child definitions when both were originally present. This
merges things like inputs, outputs, host bindings, etc.
CopyDefinitionFeature, on the other hand, compensates for a definition that
was missing entirely on the child class, by copying fields that aren't
ordinarily inherited (like the template function itself).
This feature is intended to only be used as part of ngcc code generation.
