Bazel has a restriction that a single output (eg. a compiled version of
//packages/common) can only be produced by a single rule. This precludes
the Angular repo from having multiple rules that build the same code. And
the complexity of having a single rule produce multiple outputs (eg. an
ngc-compiled version of //packages/common and an Ivy-enabled version) is
too high.
Additionally, the Angular repo has lots of existing tests which could be
executed as-is under Ivy. Such testing is very valuable, and it would be
nice to share not only the code, but the dependency graph / build config
as well.
Thus, this change introduces a --define flag 'compile' with three potential
values. When --define=compile=X is set, the entire build system runs in a
particular mode - the behavior of all existing targets is controlled by
the flag. This allows us to reuse our entire build structure for testing
in a variety of different manners. The flag has three possible settings:
* legacy (the default): the traditional View Engine (ngc) build
* local: runs the prototype ngtsc compiler, which does not rely on global
analysis
* jit: runs ngtsc in a mode which executes tsickle, but excludes the
Angular related transforms, which approximates the behavior of plain
tsc. This allows the main packages such as common to be tested with
the JIT compiler.
Additionally, the ivy_ng_module() rule still exists and runs ngc in a mode
where Ivy-compiled output is produced from global analysis information, as
a stopgap while ngtsc is being developed.

This commit adds a mechanism by which the @angular/core annotations
for @Component, @Injectable, and @NgModule become decorators which,
when executed at runtime, trigger just-in-time compilation of their
associated types. The activation of these decorators is configured
by the ivy_switch mechanism, ensuring that the Ivy JIT engine does
not get included in Angular bundles unless specifically requested.

Previously, the compileComponent() and compileDirective() APIs still required
the output of global analysis, even though they only read local information
from that output.
With this refactor, compileComponent() and compileDirective() now define
their inputs explicitly, with the new interfaces R3ComponentMetadata and
R3DirectiveMetadata. compileComponentGlobal() and compileDirectiveGlobal()
are introduced and convert from global analysis output into the new metadata
format.
This refactor also splits out the view compiler into separate files as
r3_view_compiler_local.ts was getting unwieldy.
Finally, this refactor also splits out generation of DI factory functions
into a separate r3_factory utility as the logic is utilized between different
compilers.

g3 and the Angular repo have different versions of TypeScript, and
ts.updateIdentifier() has a different signature in the different versions.
There is no way to write a call to the function that will compile in both
versions simultaneously.
Instead, use ts.getMutableClone() as that has the same effect of cloning
the identifier.

This commit adds a new compiler pipeline that isn't dependent on global
analysis, referred to as 'ngtsc'. This new compiler is accessed by
running ngc with "enableIvy" set to "ngtsc". It reuses the same initialization
logic but creates a new implementation of Program which does not perform the
global-level analysis that AngularCompilerProgram does. It will be the
foundation for the production Ivy compiler.

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 `OpaqueToken`.
By prefixing the type with `ɵ` we are communicating the the outside world that
the value is not public API and is subject to change without backward compatibility.

rxjs 6.0.0 breaks strictMetadataEmit as they now publish a .d.ts file with a
structure like:
declare export class Subscription {
static EMPTY: Subscription;
}
This generates metadata which contains an error, and fails the strictMetadataEmit
validation. There is nothing a library author can do in this situation except to
set strictMetadataEmit to false.
The spirit of strictMetadataEmit is to validate that the author's library doesn't
do anything that will break downstream users. This failure is a corner case which
causes more harm than good, so this commit disables validation for metadata
collected from .d.ts files.

Lowering expressions in flat module metadata is desirable, but it won't
work without some rearchitecting. Currently the flat module index source
is added to the Program and therefore must be determined before the rest
of the transforms run. Since the lowering transform changes the set of
exports needed in the index, this creates a catch-22 in the index
generation.
This commit causes the flat module index metadata to be generated using
only those transforms which are "safe" (don't modify the index).
PR Close#23226
Currently, the flat module index metadata is produced directly from
the source metadata. The compiler, however, applies transformations
on the Typescript sources during transpilation, and also equivalent
transformations on the metadata itself. This transformed metadata
doesn't end up in the flat module index.
This changes the compiler to generate the flat module index metadata
from its transformed version instead of directly from source.

Computing the value of loadChildren does not work externally, as the CLI
needs to be able to detect the paths referenced to properly set up
codesplitting. However, internally, different approaches to codesplitting
require hashed module IDs, and the computation of those hashes involves
something like:
{path: '...', loadChildren: hashFn('module')}
ngc should lower loadChildren into an exported constant in that case.
This will never break externally, because loadChildren is always a
string externally, and a string won't get lowered.

ngc knows to filter out d.ts inputs, but the logic accidentally
depended on whether it had a previous Program lying around.
Fixing that logic puts ngc on the fast code path, but in that code
path it must be able to merge tsickle EmitResults, so we need to
plumb the tsickle.mergeEmitResults function through all the intervening
APIs. The bulk of this change is that plumbing.

This lets projects like Material change ng_package "bundle index" files to non-conflicting paths
Currently packages like @angular/core ship with the generated metadata
in a path like 'core.js' which overwrites one of the inputs.
Angular material puts the generated file in a path like 'index.js'
Either way these files generated by ng_module rules have the potential
to collide with inputs given by the user, which results in an error.
Instead, give users the freedom to choose a different non-conflicting name.
Also this refactors the ng_package rule, removing the redundant
secondary_entry_points attribute.
Instead, we assume that any ng_module in the deps with a module_name
attribute is a secondary entry point.

Closure has a transformation which turns:
Service.ngInjectableDef = ...;
into:
Service$ngInjectableDef = ...;
This transformation obviously breaks Ivy in a major way. The solution is
to annotate the fields as @nocollapse. However, Typescript appears to ignore
synthetic comments added to a node during a transformation, so the "right"
way to add these comments doesn't work.
As an interim measure, a post-processing step just before the compiled JS is
written to disk appends the correct comments with a regular expression.

Previously the flag would only disable the check in the case we tried to use newer tsc version.
In g3 we sometimes take a while to update tsc, but as a prerequisite of that Angular needs to be
updated first. This change enables us to update Angular and use it in g3 while g3 is being update
to the required tsc. Of course extra care is required when this check is disabled, but since we
control everything in g3, it's on us to get this right.
I don't see any preexisting tests for this, and I'm not sure how to write them right now.

When the compiler generates a reference to an exported variable in the
same file, it inserts a synthetic ts.Identifier node. In CommonJS
output, this synthetic node would not be properly rewritten with an

This change sets the TS original node property on the synthetic node
we generate, which ensures TS knows to rewrite it in CommonJS output.

Previously the injectable compiler assumed all tree-shakeable injectables
would have dependencies that were injectables or InjectionTokens. However
old code still uses string tokens (e.g. NgUpgrade and '$injector'). Using
such tokens would cause the injectable compiler to crash.
Now, the injectable compiler can properly generate a dependency on such a
string token.
