The proposed ES dynamic import() is now supported by the Angular CLI and the
larger toolchain. This renders the `loadChildren: string` API largely
redundant, as import() is far more natural, is less error-prone, and is
standards compliant. This commit deprecates the `string` form of
`loadChildren` in favor of dynamic import().
DEPRECATION:
When defining lazy-loaded route, Angular previously offered two options for
configuring the module to be loaded, both via the `loadChildren` parameter
of the route. Most Angular developers are familiar withthe `string` form of
this API. For example, the following route definition configures Angular to
load a `LazyModule` NgModule from `lazy-route/lazy.module.ts`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: 'lazy-route/lazy.module#LazyModule',
}]
```
This "magic string" configuration was previously necessary as there was
no dynamic module loading standard on the web. This has changed with the
pending standardization of dynamic `import()` expressions, which are now
supported in the Angular CLI and in web tooling in general. `import()`
offers a more natural and robust solution to dynamic module loading. The
above example can be rewritten to use dynamic `import()`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: () => import('./lazy-route/lazy.module').then(mod => mod.LazyModule),
}]
```
This form of lazy loading offers significant advantages in terms of:
* type checking via TypeScript
* simplicity of generated code
* future potential to run natively in supporting browsers
(see: [caniuse: dynamic import()](https://caniuse.com/#feat=es6-module-dynamic-import))
As a result, Angular is deprecating the `loadChildren: string` syntax in
favor of ES dynamic `import()`. An automatic migration will run during
`ng upgrade` to convert your existing Angular code to the new syntax.

Prior to this change, if a navigation was ongoing and a new one came in, the router could get into a state where `router.currentNavigation` was `null` even though a navigation was executing. This change moves where we set the `currentNavigation` value so it's inside a `switchMap`. This solves the problem because the `finally` on the `switchMap` had been setting `currentNavigation` to `null` but the new `currentNavigation` value would have already been set. Essentially this was a timing problem and is resolved with this change.

This PR also changes the name of `EmptyOutletComponent` to `ɵEmptyOutletComponent`. This is because `ngcc` requires the node to retain the original name while dts bundler will rename the node is it's only exported using the aliases.
Example typings files:
```ts
declare class EmptyOutletComponent {
}
export {EmptyOutletComponent as ɵEmptyOutletComponent}
```
will be emitted as
```ts
export declare class ɵEmptyOutletComponent {
}
```

The `setUpLocationSync` function in @angular/router/upgrade didn't previously let you sync hash-based navigations. With this change, you can now pass an option to `setUpLocationSync` that will make sure location changes run in Angular in hash-based apps.

Since we build and publish the individual packages
using Bazel and `build.sh` has been removed, we can
safely remove the `rollup.config.js` files which are no
longer needed because the `ng_package` bazel rule
automatically handles the rollup settings and globals.

When a UrlTree of root url was returned by a guard as a redirection, the
navigation was not processed. The issue came from the error handler which
incorrectly marked the router as already navigated.

The value here is unimportant on initialization since it's not looked at until the second navigation. However, sometimes in testing the `Location` service is mocked out, or the Router constructor manually called. Assuming `Location` exists in the constructor leads to test failures in `google3` therefore we initialize to a value that will not cause errors.

With #27680, a bug was fixed where multiple redirects using `eager` URL update could cause navigation to fail. However, that fix introduced a problem where with `skipLocationChange` enabled, the URL tree rendered was not properly stored for reference. This specifically caused an issue with named router outlets and subsequent navigations not being recognized.
This PR stores the correct `UrlTree` for reference with later navigations. It fixes the regression introdued with #27680.

Previously when testing code injected the Compiler, it received the
top-level Compiler implementation defined in linker/compiler.ts
(and governed by the __PRE_R3__ switch). Code running under the
TestBed, however, should always use a TestBed-aware Compiler
implementation.
This commit adds such an implementation to the TestBedRender3,
which passes compiled modules through the _compileNgModule()
function.
With this change, 3 formerly disabled router integration tests
now pass.

Previously, we had the logic to schedule a change detection tick
inside markViewDirty(). This is fine when used in markDirty(),
the user-facing API, because it should always schedule change
detection. However, this doesn't work when used in markForCheck()
because historically markForCheck() does not trigger change
detection.
To be backwards compatible, this commit moves the scheduling
logic out of markViewDirty() and into markDirty(), so
markForCheck no longer triggers a tick.

Navigating to a route such as `/users`, you may get redirected to `/login`. Previously, if you go then route to `/users` again the URL will end up showing `/users` after the second redirect. This only happened in `UrlUpdateStrategy="eager"`. This is now fixed so after the second redirect, the URL shows the correct page.

This option means guards and resolvers will ignore changes when a provided predicate function returns `false`. This supports use cases where an application needs to ignore some param updates but not others. For example, changing a sort param in the URL might need to be ignored, whereas changing the a `project` param might require re-run of guards and resolvers.
