When profiling ngcc it is notable that a large amount of time
is spent dealing with an exception that is thrown (and handled
internally by fs) when checking the existence of a file.
We check file existence a lot in both finding entry-points
and when TS is compiling code. This commit adds a simple
cached `FileSystem`, which wraps a real `FileSystem` delegate.
This will reduce the number of calls through to `fs.exists()` and
`fs.readFile()` on the delegate.
Initial benchmarks indicate that the cache is miss to hit ratio
for `exists()` is about 2:1, which means that we save about 1/3
of the calls to `fs.existsSync()`.
Note that this implements a "non-expiring" cache, so it is not suitable
for a long lived `FileSystem`, where files may be modified externally.
The cache will be updated if a file is changed or moved via
calls to `FileSystem` methods but it will not be aware of changes
to the files system from outside the `FileSystem` service.
For ngcc we must create a new `FileSystem` service
for each run of `mainNgcc` and ensure that all file operations
(including TS compilation) use the `FileSystem` service.
This ensures that it is very unlikely that a file will change
externally during `mainNgcc` processing.

To improve cross platform support, all file access (and path manipulation)
is now done through a well known interface (`FileSystem`).
For testing a number of `MockFileSystem` implementations are provided.
These provide an in-memory file-system which emulates operating systems
like OS/X, Unix and Windows.
The current file system is always available via the static method,
`FileSystem.getFileSystem()`. This is also used by a number of static
methods on `AbsoluteFsPath` and `PathSegment`, to avoid having to pass
`FileSystem` objects around all the time. The result of this is that one
must be careful to ensure that the file-system has been initialized before
using any of these static methods. To prevent this happening accidentally
the current file system always starts out as an instance of `InvalidFileSystem`,
which will throw an error if any of its methods are called.
You can set the current file-system by calling `FileSystem.setFileSystem()`.
During testing you can call the helper function `initMockFileSystem(os)`
which takes a string name of the OS to emulate, and will also monkey-patch
aspects of the TypeScript library to ensure that TS is also using the
current file-system.
Finally there is the `NgtscCompilerHost` to be used for any TypeScript
compilation, which uses a given file-system.
All tests that interact with the file-system should be tested against each
of the mock file-systems. A series of helpers have been provided to support
such tests:
* `runInEachFileSystem()` - wrap your tests in this helper to run all the
wrapped tests in each of the mock file-systems.
* `addTestFilesToFileSystem()` - use this to add files and their contents
to the mock file system for testing.
* `loadTestFilesFromDisk()` - use this to load a mirror image of files on
disk into the in-memory mock file-system.
* `loadFakeCore()` - use this to load a fake version of `@angular/core`
into the mock file-system.
All ngcc and ngtsc source and tests now use this virtual file-system setup.

By passing a `pathMappings` configuration (a subset of the
`ts.CompilerOptions` interface), we can instuct ngcc to process
additional paths outside the `node_modules` folder.

If `targetEntryPointPath` is provided to `mainNgcc` then we will now mark all
the `propertiesToConsider` for that entry-point if we determine that
it does not contain code that was compiled by Angular (for instance it has
no `...metadata.json` file).
The commit also renames `__modified_by_ngcc__` to `__processed_by_ivy_ngcc__`, since
there may be entry-points that are marked despite ngcc not actually compiling anything.

Now the public API does not contain internal types, such as `AbsoluteFsPath` and
`EntryPointJsonProperty`. Instead we just accept strings and then guard them in
`mainNgcc` as appropriate.
A new public API function (`hasBeenProcessed`) has been exported to allow programmatic
checking of the build marker when the package.json contents are already known.
