Previously, several `ngtsc` and `ngcc` APIs dealing with class
declaration nodes used inconsistent types. For example, some methods of
the `DecoratorHandler` interface expected a `ts.Declaration` argument,
but actual `DecoratorHandler` implementations specified a stricter
`ts.ClassDeclaration` type.
As a result, the stricter methods would operate under the incorrect
assumption that their arguments were of type `ts.ClassDeclaration`,
while the actual arguments might be of different types (e.g. `ngcc`
would call them with `ts.FunctionDeclaration` or
`ts.VariableDeclaration` arguments, when compiling ES5 code).
Additionally, since we need those class declarations to be referenced in
other parts of the program, `ngtsc`/`ngcc` had to either repeatedly
check for `ts.isIdentifier(node.name)` or assume there was a `name`
identifier and use `node.name!`. While this assumption happens to be
true in the current implementation, working around type-checking is
error-prone (e.g. the assumption might stop being true in the future).
This commit fixes this by introducing a new type to be used for such
class declarations (`ts.Declaration & {name: ts.Identifier}`) and using
it consistently throughput the code.

Sometimes, in ESM5 code, aliases to exported variables are used internally
to refer to the exported value. This prevented some analysis from being
able to match up a reference to an export to the actual export itself.
For example in the following code:
```
var HttpClientXsrfModule = /** @class */ (function () {
function HttpClientXsrfModule() {
}
HttpClientXsrfModule_1 = HttpClientXsrfModule;
HttpClientXsrfModule.withOptions = function (options) {
if (options === void 0) { options = {}; }
return {
ngModule: HttpClientXsrfModule_1,
providers: [],
};
};
var HttpClientXsrfModule_1;
HttpClientXsrfModule = HttpClientXsrfModule_1 = tslib_1.__decorate([
NgModule({
providers: [],
})
], HttpClientXsrfModule);
return HttpClientXsrfModule;
}());
```
We were not able to tell that the `ngModule: HttpClientXsrfModule_1` property
assignment was actually meant to refer to the `function HttpClientXrsfModule()`
declaration. This caused the `ModuleWithProviders` processing to fail.
This commit ensures that we can compile typings files using the ESM5
format, so we can now update the examples boilerplate tool so that it
does not need to compile the ESM2015 format at all.

In ESM5 code, static methods appear as property assignments onto the constructor
function. For example:
```
var MyClass = (function() {
function MyClass () {}
MyClass.staticMethod = function() {};
return MyClass;
})();
```
This commit teaches ngcc how to process these forms when searching
for `ModuleWithProviders` functions that need to be updated in the typings
files.
