The content projection mechanism is static, in that it only looks at the static
template nodes before directives are matched and change detection is run.
When you have a selector-based content projection the selection is based
on nodes that are available in the template.
For example:
```
<ng-content selector="[some-attr]"></ng-content>
```
would match
```
<div some-attr="..."></div>
```
If you have an inline-template in your projected nodes. For example:
```
<div *ngIf="..." some-attr="..."></div>
```
This gets pre-parsed and converted to a canonical form.
For example:
```
<ng-template [ngIf]="...">
<div some-attr=".."></div>
</ng-template>
```
Note that only structural attributes (e.g. `*ngIf`) stay with the `<ng-template>`
node. The other attributes move to the contained element inside the template.
When this happens in ivy, the ng-template content is removed
from the component template function and is compiled into its own
template function. But this means that the information about the
attributes that were on the content are lost and the projection
selection mechanism is unable to match the original
`<div *ngIf="..." some-attr>`.
This commit adds support for this in ivy. Attributes are separated into three
groups (Bindings, Templates and "other"). For inline-templates the Bindings
and "other" types are hoisted back from the contained node to the `template()`
instruction, so that they can be used in content projection matching.

ngtsc occasionally converts a type reference (such as the type of a
parameter in a constructor) to a value reference (argument to a
directiveInject call). TypeScript has a bad habit of sometimes removing
the import statement associated with this type reference, because it's a
type only import when it initially looks at the file.
A solution to this is to always add an import to refer to a type position
value that's imported, and not rely on the existing import.

This commit adds support for the `static: true` flag in `ContentChild`
queries. Prior to this commit, all `ContentChild` queries were resolved
after change detection ran. This is a problem for backwards
compatibility because View Engine also supported "static" queries which
would resolve before change detection.
Now if users add a `static: true` option, the query will be resolved in
creation mode (before change detection runs). For example:
```ts
@ContentChild(TemplateRef, {static: true}) template !: TemplateRef;
```
This feature will come in handy for components that need
to create components dynamically.

Prior to this update we had separate contentQueries and contentQueriesRefresh functions to handle creation and update phases. This approach was inconsistent with View Queries, Host Bindings and Template functions that we generate for Component/Directive defs. Now the mentioned 2 functions are combines into one (contentQueries), creation and update logic is separated with RenderFlags (similar to what we have in other generated functions).

Previously, it wasn't possible to compile template that contains pipe in context of ternary operator `{{ 1 ? 2 : 0 | myPipe }}` due to the error `Error: Illegal state: Pipes should have been converted into functions. Pipe: async`.
This PR fixes a typo in expression parser so that pipes are correctly converted into functions.

In View Engine, we supported @Input and @ContentChild annotations
on the same property. This feature was somewhat brittle because
it would only work for static queries, so it would break if a
content child was passed in wrapped in an *ngIf. Due to the
inconsistent behavior and low usage both internally and externally,
we will likely be deprecating it in the next version, and it does
not make sense to perpetuate it in Ivy.
This commit ensures that we now throw in Ivy if we encounter the
two annotations on the same property.

Prior to this change contentQueriesRefresh functions that represent refresh logic for @ContentQuery list were not composable, which caused problems in case one Directive inherits another one and both of them contain Content Queries. Due to the fact that we used indices to reference queries in refresh function, results were placed into wrong Queries. In order to avoid that we no longer use indices to reference queries and instead maintain current content query index while iterating through them. This allows us to compose contentQueriesRefresh functions and make inheritance feature work with Content Queries.

Prior to this change `viewQuery` functions that represent @ViewQuery list were not composable, which caused problems in case one Component/Directive inherits another one and both of them contain View Queries. Due to the fact that we used indices to reference queries, resulting query set was corrupted (child component queries were overridden by super class ones). In order to avoid that we no longer use indices assigned at compile time and instead maintain current view query index while iterating through them. This allows us to compose `viewQuery` functions and make inheritance feature work with View Queries.

Libraries that create components dynamically using component factories,
such as `@angular/upgrade` need to pass blocks of projected content
through to the `ComponentFactory.create()` method. These blocks
are extracted from the content by matching CSS selectors defined in
`<ng-content select="..">` tags found in the component's template.
The Angular compiler collects these CSS selectors when compiling a component's
template, and exposes them via the `ComponentFactory.ngContentSelectors`
property.
This change ensures that this property is filled correctly when the
component factory is created by compiling a component with the Ivy engine.

Previously, there could be identical template/listener function names
for a component's template, if it had multiple similarly structured
nested sub-templates or listeners.
This resulted in build errors:
`Identifier '<SOME_IDENTIFIER>' has already been declared`
This commit fixes this by ensuring that the template index is included
in the `contextName` passed to the `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`
responsible for processing nested sub-templates.
Similarly, the template or element index is included in the listener
names.

Previously ivy code generation was emmiting the projectionDef instruction in
a template where the <ng-content> tag was found. This code generation logic was
incorrect since the ivy runtime expects the projectionDef instruction to be present
in the main template only.
This PR ammends the code generation logic so that the projectionDef instruction is
emmitedin the main template only.

Prior to this change, we were unable to match directives using `ng-template` tags (for example the following selector would not work even though there might be some <ng-template>s in a template: `ng-template[directiveA]`. As a result, that broke some components that relies on such selectors to work. In order to resolve the problem, we now pass tag name to the `template` instruction (where we passed `null` before) and this tag name is used for matching at runtime. This update should also help support projecting containers, because the tag name is required to properly match such elements.

Prior to this update, we always returned the number of host vars defined in @Component definition as a value for `allocatePureFunctionsSlot` callback in ValueConverter. As a result, pure function arguments were not accounted for, thus leasing to incorrect slot offsets in `pureFunction` calls. Now we update and return total # of host vars, so the offsets are defined correctly.

Prior to this change `projectDef` instructions were placed to root templates only, thus the necessary information (selectors) in nested templates was missing. This update adds the logic to insert `projectDef` instructions to all templates where <ng-content> is present.
