ngtsc has an internal performance tracing package, which previously has not
really seen much use. It used to track performance statistics on a very
granular basis (microseconds per actual class analysis, for example). This
had two problems:
* it produced voluminous amounts of data, complicating the analysis of such
results and providing dubious value.
* it added nontrivial overhead to compilation when used (which also affected
the very performance of the operations being measured).
This commit replaces the old system with a streamlined performance tracing
setup which is lightweight and designed to be always-on. The new system
tracks 3 metrics:
* time taken by various phases and operations within the compiler
* events (counters) which measure the shape and size of the compilation
* memory usage measured at various points of the compilation process
If the compiler option `tracePerformance` is set, the compiler will
serialize these metrics to a JSON file at that location after compilation is
complete.

TypeScript 4.2 has changed its emitted syntax for synthetic constructors
when using `downlevelIteration`, which affects ES5 bundles that have
been downleveled from ES2015 bundles. This is typically the case for UMD
bundles in the APF spec, as they are generated by downleveling the
ESM2015 bundle into ES5. The reflection capabilities in the runtime need
to recognize this new form to correctly deal with synthesized
constructors, as otherwise JIT compilation could generate invalid
factory functions.

The Ivy Language Service uses the compiler's template type-checking engine,
which honors the configuration in the user's tsconfig.json. We recommend
that users upgrade to `strictTemplates` mode in their projects to take
advantage of the best possible type inference, and thus to have the best
experience in Language Service.
If a project is not using `strictTemplates`, then the compiler will not
leverage certain type inference options it has. One case where this is very
noticeable is the inference of let- variables for structural directives that
provide a template context guard (such as NgFor). Without `strictTemplates`,
these guards will not be applied and such variables will be inferred as
'any', degrading the user experience within Language Service.
This is working as designed, since the Language Service _should_ reflect
types exactly as the compiler sees them. However, the View Engine Language
Service used its own type system that _would_ infer these types even when
the compiler did not. As a result, it's confusing to some users why the
Ivy Language Service has "worse" type inference.
To address this confusion, this commit implements a suggestion diagnostic
which is shown in the Language Service for variables which could have been
narrowed via a context guard, but the type checking configuration didn't
allow it. This should make the reason why variables receive the 'any' type
as well as the action needed to improve the typings much more obvious,
improving the Language Service experience.

Currently, when importing `BrowserAnimationsModule`, Angular uses `AnimationRenderer`
as the renderer. When the root view is removed, the `AnimationRenderer` defers the actual
work to the `TransitionAnimationEngine` to do this, and the `TransitionAnimationEngine`
doesn't actually remove the DOM node, but just calls `markElementAsRemoved()`.
The actual DOM node is not removed until `TransitionAnimationEngine` "flushes".
Unfortunately, though, that "flush" will never happen, since the root view is being
destroyed and there will be no more flushes.
This commit adds `flush()` call when the root view is being destroyed.
BREAKING CHANGE:
DOM elements are now correctly removed when the root view is removed.
If you are using SSR and use the app's HTML for rendering, you will need
to ensure that you save the HTML to a variable before destorying the
app.
It is also possible that tests could be accidentally relying on the old behavior by
trying to find an element that was not removed in a previous test. If
this is the case, the failing tests should be updated to ensure they
have proper setup code which initializes elements they rely on.

Previously presence of both [class] and [className] bindings on an element was treated as compiler error (implemented in 6f203c9575). Later, the situation was improved to actually allow both bindings to co-exist (see a153b61098), however the compiler check was not removed completely. The only situation where the error is thrown at this moment is when static (but with interpolation) and bound `class` attributes are present on an element, for ex.:
```
<div class="{{ one }}" [class]="'two'"></div>
```
In the current situation the error is acually misleading (as it refers to `[className]`).
This commit removes the mentioned compiler check as obsolete and makes the `class` and `style` attribute processing logically the same (the last occurrence is used to compute the value).

This commit fixes the behavior when creating a type constructor for a directive when the following
conditions are met.
1. The directive has bound generic parameters.
2. Inlining is not available. (This happens for language service compiles).
Previously, we would throw an error saying 'Inlining is not supported in this environment.' The
compiler would stop type checking, and the developer could lose out on getting errors after the
compiler gives up.
This commit adds a useInlineTypeConstructors to the type check config. When set to false, we use
`any` type for bound generic parameters to avoid crashing. When set to true, we inline the type
constructor when inlining is required.

This commit complements the support for the `__spreadArray` helper that
was added in microsoft/TypeScript#41523. The prior helpers `__spread`
and `__spreadArrays` used the `__read` helper internally, but the helper
is now emitted as an argument to `__spreadArray` so ngcc now needs to
support evaluating it statically. The real implementation of `__read`
reads an iterable into an array, but for ngcc's static evaluation
support it is sufficient to only deal with arrays as is. Additionally,
the optional `n` parameter is not supported as that is only emitted for
array destructuring syntax, which ngcc does not have to support.

statically detect these helpers and provide evaluation logic for them.
Because Angular is adopting support for TypeScript 4.2 it becomes
possible for libraries to be compiled by TypeScript 4.2 and thus ngcc
has to add support for the `__spreadArray` helper. The deprecated
`__spread` and `__spreadArrays` helpers are not affected by this change.

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,
})

`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change

Tsserver expects `@angular/language-service` to provide a factory function
as the default export (commonjs-style) of the package.
The current implementation side steps TypeScript's import syntax by using
`module.exports = factory`.
This allows the code to incorrectly re-export other symbols:
```ts
export * from './api';
```
which transpiles to:
```js
var tslib_1 = require("tslib");
tslib_1.__exportStar(require("@angular/language-service/api"), exports);
```
Doing this meant that the package now has a runtime dependency on `tslib`,
which is totally unnecessary.
With the proper `export =` syntax, `tslib` is removed, and no other exports
are allowed.

```js
(function (factory) {
if (typeof module === "object" && typeof module.exports === "object") {

When there are elements in a translated message, the start and end tags
are encoded as placeholders. The names of these placeholders are computed
from the name of the element. For example `<a> will be `START_LINK` and
`</a>` will be `CLOSE_LINK`.
If there are more than one element with the same name, but different attributes,
then the starting placeholder name is made unique.
For example `<a href="a">` would be `START_LINK`, while `<a href="b">` in
the same message would then be called `START_LINK_1`.
But the closing tags will not be made unique since there are no attrbutes;
the always have the same text `</a>`, which will produce, for example,
`CLOSE_LINK`.
Previously, when extracting XLIFF 2 formatted translation files, the closing
tag placeholder names were computed incorrectly from the opening tag
placeholder names. For example `CLOSE_LINK_1`.
This commit strips these `_1` type endings from the start tag placeholder
name when computing the closing tag placeholder name. It also ensures
that the `type` of the placeholder is computed accurately in these cases
too.

Previously, injector definitions contained a `factory` property that
was used to create a new instance of the associated NgModule class.
Now this factory has been moved to its own `ɵfac` static property on the
NgModule class itself. This is inline with how directives, components and
pipes are created.
There is a small size increase to bundle sizes for each NgModule class,
because the `ɵfac` takes up a bit more space:
Before:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({factory: function(t) { return new (t || n) }, imports: [[e.a.forChild(s)], e.a]}),
n
})(),
```
After:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275fac = function(t) { return new (t || n) },
n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({imports: [[r.a.forChild(s)], r.a]}),
n
})(),
```
In other words `n.\u0275fac = ` is longer than `factory: ` (by 5 characters)
and only because the tooling insists on encoding `ɵ` as `\u0275`.
This can be mitigated in a future PR by only generating the `ɵfac` property
if it is actually needed.

The compiler performs cycle analysis for the used directives and pipes
of a component's template to avoid introducing a cyclic import into the
generated output. The used directives and pipes are represented by their
output expression which would typically be an `ExternalExpr`; those are
responsible for the generation of an `import` statement. Cycle analysis
needs to determine the `ts.SourceFile` that would end up being imported
by these `ExternalExpr`s, as the `ts.SourceFile` is then checked against
the program's `ImportGraph` to determine if the import is allowed, i.e.
does not introduce a cycle. To accomplish this, the `ExternalExpr` was
dissected and ran through module resolution to obtain the imported
`ts.SourceFile`.
This module resolution step is relatively expensive, as it typically
needs to hit the filesystem. Even in the presence of a module resolution
cache would these module resolution requests generally see cache misses,
as the generated import originates from a file for which the cache has
not previously seen the imported module specifier.
This commit removes the need for the module resolution by wrapping the
generated `Expression` in an `EmittedReference` struct. This allows the
reference emitter mechanism that is responsible for generating the
`Expression` to also communicate from which `ts.SourceFile` the
generated `Expression` would be imported, precluding the need for module
resolution down the road.
PR Close#40948
The import graph scans source files for its import and export statements
to extract the source files that it imports/exports. Such statements
contain a module specifier string and this module specifier used to be
resolved to the actual source file using an explicit module resolution
step. This is especially expensive in incremental rebuilds, as the
module resolution cache has not been primed during program creation
(assuming that the incremental program was able to reuse the module
resolution results from a prior compilation). This meant that all module
resolution requests would have to hit the filesystem, which is
relatively slow.
This commit is able to replace the module resolution with TypeScript's
bound symbol of the module specifier. This symbol corresponds with the
`ts.SourceFile` that is being imported/exported, which is exactly what
the import graph was interested in. As a result, no filesystem accesses
are done anymore.
