This change is a prerequasity for a later change which will turn the
'di' into its own bazel package. In order to do that we have to:
- have `Injector` type be importable by Ivy. This means that we need
to create `Injector` as a pure type in `interface` folder which is
already a bazel package which Ivy can depend on.
- Remove the dependency of `class Injector` on Ivy so that it can be
compiled in isolation. We do that by using `-1` as special value for
`__NG_ELEMENT_ID__` which tells the Ivy `NodeInjector` than
`Injector` is being requested.

Previously, some of the *Def symbols were not exported or were exported
as public API. This commit ensures every definition type is in the
private export namespace.
PR Close#24862
On accident a few of the definition types were emitted as public API
symbols. Much of the Ivy API surface is still prefixed with ɵ,
indicating it's a private API. The definition types should be private
for now.

Ivy definition looks something like this:
```
class MyService {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
…
});
}
```
Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an opaque token.
For this reson why declare the return value of `defineInjectable` as `never`.

This adds compilation of @NgModule providers and imports into
ngInjectorDef statements in generated code. All @NgModule annotations
will be compiled and the @NgModule decorators removed from the
resultant js output.
All @Injectables will also be compiled in Ivy mode, and the decorator
removed.

Rename @Injectable({scope -> providedIn}).
Instead of {providedIn: APP_ROOT_SCOPE}, accept {providedIn: 'root'}.
Also, {providedIn: null} implies the injectable should not be added
to any scope.

inject() supports the ngInjectableDef-based configuration of the injector
(otherwise known as tree-shakeable services). It was missing from the
exported API of @angular/core, this PR adds it.
The test added here is correct in theory, but may pass accidentally due
to the decorator side-effect replacing the inject() call at runtime. An
upcoming compiler PR will strip reified decorators from the output
entirely.
Fixes#22388

@Injectable() supports a scope parameter which specifies the target module.
However, it's still difficult to specify that a particular service belongs
in the root injector. A developer attempting to ensure that must either
also provide a module intended for placement in the root injector or target
a module known to already be in the root injector (e.g. BrowserModule).
Both of these strategies are cumbersome and brittle.
Instead, this commit adds a token APP_ROOT_SCOPE which provides a
straightforward way of targeting the root injector directly, without
requiring special knowledge of modules within it.

This commit bundles 3 important changes, with the goal of enabling tree-shaking
of services which are never injected. Ordinarily, this tree-shaking is prevented
by the existence of a hard dependency on the service by the module in which it
is declared.
Firstly, @Injectable() is modified to accept a 'scope' parameter, which points
to an @NgModule(). This reverses the dependency edge, permitting the module to
not depend on the service which it "provides".
Secondly, the runtime is modified to understand the new relationship created
above. When a module receives a request to inject a token, and cannot find that
token in its list of providers, it will then look at the token for a special
ngInjectableDef field which indicates which module the token is scoped to. If
that module happens to be in the injector, it will behave as if the token
itself was in the injector to begin with.
Thirdly, the compiler is modified to read the @Injectable() metadata and to
generate the special ngInjectableDef field as part of TS compilation, using the
PartialModules system.
Additionally, this commit adds several unit and integration tests of various
flavors to test this change.
