Originally, the ivy_switch mechanism used Bazel genrules to conditionally
compile one TS file or another depending on whether ngc or ngtsc was the
selected compiler. This was done because we wanted to avoid importing
certain modules (and thus pulling them into the build) if Ivy was on or
off. This mechanism had a major drawback: ivy_switch became a bottleneck
in the import graph, as it both imports from many places in the codebase
and is imported by many modules in the codebase. This frequently resulted
in cyclic imports which caused issues both with TS and Closure compilation.
It turns out ngcc needs both code paths in the bundle to perform the switch
during its operation anyway, so import switching was later abandoned. This
means that there's no real reason why the ivy_switch mechanism needed to
operate at the Bazel level, and for the ivy_switch file to be a bottleneck.
This commit removes the Bazel-level ivy_switch mechanism, and introduces
an additional TypeScript transform in ngtsc (and the pass-through tsc
compiler used for testing JIT) to perform the same operation that ngcc
does, and flip the switch during ngtsc compilation. This allows the
ivy_switch file to be removed, and the individual switches to be located
directly next to their consumers in the codebase, greatly mitigating the
circular import issues and making the mechanism much easier to use.
As part of this commit, the tag for marking switched variables was changed
from __PRE_NGCC__ to __PRE_R3__, since it's no longer just ngcc which
flips these tags. Most variables were renamed from R3_* to SWITCH_* as well,
since they're referenced mostly in render2 code.
Test strategy: existing test coverage is more than sufficient - if this
didn't work correctly it would break the hello world and todo apps.

The 'animations' field of @Component metadata should be copied directly
into the ngComponentDef for that component and should not pass through
static resolution.
Previously the animations array was statically resolved and then the
values were translated back when generating ngComponentDef.

While creating FESM files, rollup usually drops all unused symbols.
All *__POST_NGCC__ are unused unless ngcc rewires stuff. To prevent this DCE
we reexport them as private symbols. If ngcc is not used, these symbols will

This commit adds an ngTemplateGuard_ngIf static method to the NgIf
directive and an ngTemplateContextGuard static method to NgFor. The
function of these two static methods is to enable type narrowing
within generated type checking code for consumers of the directives.

Previously in Ivy, metadata for directives/components/modules/etc was
carried in .d.ts files inside type information encoded on the
DirectiveDef, ComponentDef, NgModuleDef, etc types of Ivy definition
fields. This works well, but has the side effect of complicating Ivy's
runtime code as these extra generic type parameters had to be specified
as <any> throughout the codebase. *DefInternal types were introduced
previously to mitigate this issue, but that's the wrong way to solve
the problem.
This commit returns *Def types to their original form, with no metadata
attached. Instead, new *DefWithMeta types are introduced that alias the
plain definition types and add extra generic parameters. This way the
only code that needs to deal with the extra metadata parameters is the
compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata
is transparent to the runtime, as it should be.

Closure compiler requires that the i18n message constants of the form
const MSG_XYZ = goog.getMessage('...');
have names that are unique across an entire compilation, even if the
variables themselves are local to a given module. This means that in
practice these names must be unique in a codebase.
The best way to guarantee this requirement is met is to encode the
relative file name of the file into which the constant is being written
into the constant name itself. This commit implements that solution.

Provides a runtime and compile time switch for ivy including
`ApplicationRef.bootstrapModule`.
This is done by naming the symbols such that `ngcc` (angular
Compatibility compiler) can rename symbols in such a way that running
`ngcc` command will switch the `@angular/core` module from `legacy` to
`ivy` mode.
This is done as follows:
```
const someToken__PRE_NGCC__ = ‘legacy mode’;
const someToken__POST_NGCC__ = ‘ivy mode’;
export someSymbol = someToken__PRE_NGCC__;
```
The `ngcc` will search for any token which ends with `__PRE_NGCC__`
and replace it with `__POST_NGCC__`. This allows the `@angular/core`
package to be rewritten to ivy mode post `ngcc` execution.

When an Angular decorated class is inherited, it might be the case that
the entire inheritance chain actually has no constructor defined. In
that event, a factory which simply instantiates the type without any
arguments should be used.
PR Close#25425

When generating the 'directives:' property of ngComponentDef, ngtsc
needs to be conscious of declaration order. If a directive being
written into the array is declarated after the component currently
being compiled, then the entire directives array needs to be wrapped
in a closure.
This commit fixes ngtsc to pay attention to such ordering issues
within directives arrays.

This commit creates an API for factory functions which allows them
to be inherited from one another. To do so, it differentiates between
the factory function as a wrapper for a constructor and the factory
function in ngInjectableDefs which is determined by a default
provider.
The new form is:
factory: (t?) => new (t || SomeType)(inject(Dep1), inject(Dep2))
The 't' parameter allows for constructor inheritance. A subclass with
no declared constructor inherits its constructor from the superclass.
With the 't' parameter, a subclass can call the superclass' factory
function and use it to create an instance of the subclass.
For @Injectables with configured providers, the factory function is
of the form:
factory: (t?) => t ? constructorInject(t) : provider();
where constructorInject(t) creates an instance of 't' using the
naturally declared constructor of the type, and where provider()
creates an instance of the base type using the special declared
provider on @Injectable.
