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.

CLI will soon consider the first entry to be the main entry in the package group.
This will then be used to display the main entry in "ng update" listing.

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.

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.

Angular Package Format v6 stops bundling files in the esm5 and esm2015
directories, now that Webpack 4 can tree-shake per-file.
Adds some missing files like package.json to make packages closer to
what we publish today.
Refactor ng_package to be a type of npm_package and re-use the packaging
action from that rule.

This produces a directory following the Angular Package layout spec.
Includes integration test coverage by making a minimal ng_package in integration/bazel.
Unit tests verify the content of the @angular/core and @angular/common packages.
This doesn't totally match our current output, but is good enough to unblock some
early adopters.
It re-uses logic from the rollup_bundle rule in rules_nodejs. It should also
eventually have the .pack and .publish secondary targets like npm_package rule.

This helps ensure we use the same tsconfig.json file for all compilations.
Next steps are to make it the same tsconfig.json file used by the editor
