In CLI version 12, we introduced the concept of production builds by default.
With this change we update the documentation to reflect the changes.

BREAKING CHANGE:
Switching default of `emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue`
which changes the default behavior and may cause some applications which
rely on the incorrect behavior to fail.
`emitDistinctChangesOnly` flag has also been deprecated and will be
removed in a future major release.
The previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in an artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail, and it should not be the thing that determines
how often change event should fire.
Unfortunately, fixing the behavior outright caused too many existing
applications to fail. For this reason, Angular considers this fix a
breaking fix and has introduced a flag in `@ContentChildren` and
`@ViewChildren`, that controls the behavior.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option is the new default with this change.
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}
```
For backward compatibility before v12
`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change
changes the default to `true`.

Previously, the indentation of code snippets in the "Cheat sheet" guide
was done using `<br>` elements (for line breaks) and ` ` HTML
entities (for space). This was laborious and put the onus on the author
to remember to use these symbols (instead of regular whitespace
characters).
(Discussed in
https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/41051#discussion_r585651621.)
This commit changes the way `<code>` elements are styles inside the
"Cheat sheet" guide to allow using regular whitespace characters in code
snippets. It also changes all `<br>`/` ` occurrences to `\n`/` `
respectively to make code snippets more readable in the source code.

Previously, with the min width of 220px per item, several API list items
were truncated.
This commit increases the min width per item to 330px, which allows
almost all items to have their full text shown. It also increases the
API list page's max content width from 50em (800px) to 62.5em (1000px)
to allow items to be shown on three columns despite their increased
width. This increase in the content width shouldn't negatively affect
UX, since the API list page uses a multi-column layout (i.e. it does not
contain 1000px-lines of text.)
Before: ![api-list before][1]
After: ![api-list after][2]

Previously, each marketing page used a different limit for its content's
width (if it had a limit at all) and implemented the width limiting in a
different way. Besides resulting in an inconsistent UX, this also made
it difficult to apply site-wide layout changes.
This commit makes the limit for most marketing pages consistent and uses
the same CSS class to make it easier to apply site-wide changes in the
future. The chosen limit is slightly larger than that of docs pages
(62.5em/1000px vs 50em/800px), because marketing pages have a different
type of content and layout (i.e. images, multi-column layout, etc.).
Finally, this commit also removes obsolete wrapper elements, CSS classes
and CSS styles, that are no longer necessary after the changes.
Notably, the homepage (`/`) and the "Contributors" page (`/about`) have
remained unchanged, because the former has its own layout that is
different from other marketing pages and the latter would offer a worse
UX with a small content width limit (as the one used on other marketing
pages).
The content widths of the rest of the marketing pages change slightly as
a result of the changes in this commit, but not in a way that would have
a negative impact on UX. More specifically:
| Page (URL) | Size before | Size after |
|:--------------|------------:|-----------:|
| `/contribute` | 880px | 1000px |
| `/events` | unlimited | 1000px |
| `/features` | 996px | 1000px |
| `/presskit` | 800px | 1000px |
| `/resources` | 800px | 1000px |

This change fixes an incompatibility between the old `@angular/http` package
and its successor (`@angular/common/http`) by re-introducing the types that were supported before.
It now allows to use number and boolean directly as HTTP params, instead of having to convert it to string first.
Before:
this.http.get('/api/config', { params: { page: `${page}` } });
After:
this.http.get('/api/config', { params: { page }});
`HttpParams` has also been updated to have most of its methods accept number or boolean values.
Fixes#23856
BREAKING CHANGE:
The methods of the `HttpParams` class now accept `string | number | boolean`
instead of `string` for the value of a parameter.
If you extended this class in your application,
you'll have to update the signatures of your methods to reflect these changes.

Previously, some of the links on the error pages had URLs prefixed with
`https://angular.io/`. This caused them to be treated as external URLs,
which had the following downsides:
- Links would always point to `angular.io` instead of the same version
as the error page (e.g. `next.angular.io` or `v11.angular.io`).
- Dgeni would not be able to check that the URLs are valid (i.e. point
to existing pages).
- An external link icon would incorrectly be shown next to the links on
`angular.io`.
This commit fixes the links to use relative URLs.

Our approach for handling cyclic imports results in code that is
not easy to tree-shake, so it is not suitable for publishing in a
library.
When compiling in partial compilation mode, we are targeting
such library publication, so we now create a fatal diagnostic
error instead of trying to handle the cyclic import situation.
