Currently expressions `$event.foo()` and `this.$event.foo()`, as well as `$any(foo)` and
`this.$any(foo)`, are treated as the same expression by the compiler, because `this` is considered
the same implicit receiver as when the receiver is omitted. This introduces the following issues:
1. Any time something called `$any` is used, it'll be stripped away, leaving only the first parameter.
2. If something called `$event` is used anywhere in a template, it'll be preserved as `$event`,
rather than being rewritten to `ctx.$event`, causing the value to undefined at runtime. This
applies to listener, property and text bindings.
These changes resolve the first issue and part of the second one by preserving anything that
is accessed through `this`, even if it's one of the "special" ones like `$any` or `$event`.
Furthermore, these changes only expose the `$event` global variable inside event listeners,
whereas previously it was available everywhere.

To support recovery of malformed binding property names like `([a)`,
`[a`, or `()`, the binding parser needs to be more permissive w.r.t. the
kinds of bindings it can detect. This is difficult to do maintainably
with a regex, but is trivial with a "hand-rolled" string parser. This
commit refactors render3's binding attribute parsing to use this method
for multi-delimited bindings (namely via the `()`, `[]`, and `[()]`)
syntax, making the way recovery of malformed bindings in a future patch.
Note that we can keep using a regex for prefix-only binding syntax
(e.g. `bind-`, `ref-`) because validation of the binding is complete
once we have matched the prefix, and the only thing left to do is check
that the binding identifier is non-empty, which is trivial.

This is follow-up from [an earlier discussion](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/39408#discussion_r511908358).
After some testing, it looks like the type of `Element.attributes` was correct in specifying that it
only has `TextAttribute` instances. This means that the extra checks that filter out `BoundAttribute`
instances from the array isn't necessary. There is another loop a bit further down that actually
extracts the bound i18n attributes.

This commit handles the following cases:
- incomplete pipes in a pipe chain

pipes.

Angular-internal type definitions for Trusted Types were added in #39211.
When compiled using the Closure compiler with certain optimization
flags, identifiers from these type definitions (such as createPolicy)
are currently uglified and renamed to shorter strings. This causes
Angular applications compiled in this way to fail to create a Trusted
Types policy, and fall bock to using strings.
To fix this, mark the internal Trusted Types definitions as declarations

The JIT compiler uses the Function constructor to compile arbitrary

Introduce a Trusted Types policy for use by Angular's JIT compiler named
angular#unsafe-jit. As the compiler turns arbitrary untrusted strings
into executable code at runtime, using Angular's main Trusted Types
policy does not seem appropriate, unless it can be ensured that the
provided strings are indeed trusted. Until then, this JIT policy can be
allowed by applications that rely on the JIT compiler but want to
enforce Trusted Types, knowing that a compromise of the JIT compiler can
lead to arbitrary script execution. In particular, this is required for
enabling Trusted Types in Angular unit tests, since they make use of the
JIT compiler.

Angular treats constant values of attributes and properties in templates
as secure. This means that these values are not sanitized, and are
instead passed directly to the corresponding setAttribute or setProperty
function. In cases where the given attribute or property is
security-sensitive, this causes a Trusted Types violation.
To address this, functions for promoting constant strings to each of the
three Trusted Types are introduced to Angular's private codegen API. The
compiler is updated to wrap constant strings with calls to these
functions as appropriate when constructing the `consts` array. This is
only done for security-sensitive attributes and properties, as
classified by Angular's dom_security_schema.

At a high level, the current shadow DOM shim logic works by escaping the content of a CSS rule
(e.g. `div {color: red;}` becomes `div {%BLOCK%}`), using a regex to parse out things like the
selector and the rule body, and then re-adding the content after the selector has been modified.
The problem is that the regex has to be very broad in order capture all of the different use cases,
which can cause it to match strings suffixed with a semi-colon in some places where it shouldn't,
like this URL from Google Fonts `https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;500&display=swap`.
Most of the time this is fine, because the logic that escapes the rule content to `%BLOCK%` will
have converted it to something that won't be matched by the regex. However, it breaks down for rules
like `@import` which don't have a body, but can still have quoted content with characters that can
match the regex.
These changes resolve the issue by making a second pass over the escaped string and replacing all
of the remaining quoted content with `%QUOTED%` before parsing it with the regex. Once everything
has been processed, we make a final pass where we restore the quoted content.
In a previous iteration of this PR, I went with a shorter approach which narrowed down the
regex so that it doesn't capture rules without a body. It fixed the issue, but it also ended
up breaking some of the more contrived unit test cases. I decided not to pursue it further, because
we would've ended up with a very long and brittle regex that likely would've broken in even weirder
ways.

The expression parser already has support for recovering on malformed
property reads, but did not have tests describing the recovered ast in
such cases. This commit adds tests to demonstrate such cases; in
particular, the recovered ast is a full PropertyRead but with an empty
property name. This is likely the most preferred option, as it does not
constrain consumers of the AST to what the property name should look
like. Furthermore, we cannot mark the property name as empty in any
other way (e.g. an EmptyExpr) because the property name, as of present,
is a string field rather than an AST itself.
Note that tokens past a malformed property read are not preserved in the
AST (for example in `foo.1234`, `1234` is not preserved in the AST).
This is because the extra tokens do not belong to the singular
expression created by the property read, and there is not a meaningful
way to interpret a secondary expression in a single parsed expression.

This patch adds support for recovering well-formed (and near-complete)
ASTs for semantically malformed keyed reads and keyed writes. See the
added tests for details on the types of semantics we can now recover;
in particular, notice that some assumptions are made about the form of
a keyed read/write intended by a user. For example, in the malformed
expression `a[1 + = 2`, we assume that the user meant to write a binary
expression for the key of `a`, and assign that key the value `2`. In
particular, we now parse this as `a[1 + <empty expression>] = 2`. There
are some different interpretations that can be made here, but I think
this is reasonable.
The actual changes in the parser code are fairly minimal (a nice
surprise!); the biggest addition is a `writeContext` that marks whether
the `=` operator can serve as a recovery point after error detection.

Currently it is impossible to determine the source of a binding that
generates `BoundAttribute` because all bound attributes generated from a
microsyntax expression share the same source span.
For example, in
```html
<div *ngFor="let item of items; trackBy: trackByFn"></div>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
source span for all `BoundAttribute`s generated from microsyntax
```
the `BoundAttribute` for both `ngForOf` and `ngForTrackBy`
share the same source span.
A lot of hacks were necessary in View Engine language service to work
around this limitation. It was done by inspecting the whole source span
then figuring out the relative position of the cursor.
With this change, we introduce a flag to set the binding span as the
source span of the `ParsedProperty` in Ivy AST.
This flag is needed so that we don't have to change VE ASTs.
Note that in the binding parser, we already set `bindingSpan` as the
source span for a `ParsedVariable`, and `keySpan` as the source span for
a literal attribute. This change makes the Ivy AST more consistent by
propagating the binding span to `ParsedProperty` as well.

Though we currently have the knowledge of where the `key` for an

Let's say we have a code like
```html
<div<span>123</span>
```
Currently this gets parsed into a tree with the element tag `div<span`.
This has at least two downsides:
- An incorrect diagnostic that `</span>` doesn't close an element is
emitted.
- A consumer of the parse tree using it for editor services is unable to
provide correct completions for the opening `<span>` tag.
This patch attempts to fix both issues by instead parsing the code into
the same tree that would be parsed for `<div></div><span>123</span>`.
In particular, we do this by optimistically scanning an open tag as
usual, but if we do not notice a terminating '>', we mark the tag as
"incomplete". A parser then emits an error for the incomplete tag and
adds a synthetic (recovered) element node to the tree with the
incomplete open tag's name.
What's the downside of this? For one, a breaking change.
<ol>
<li>
The first breaking change is that `<` symbols that are ambiguously text
or opening tags will be parsed as opening tags instead of text in
element bodies. Take the code
```html
<p>a<b</p>
```
Clearly we cannot have the best of both worlds, and this patch chooses
to swap the parsing strategy to support the new feature. Of course, `<`
can still be inserted as text via the `<` entity.

Recent work on compiler internals in #38539 led to an unexpected failure,
where a pipe used exclusively inside of an ICU would no longer be
emitted into the compilation output. This caused runtime errors due to

The issue occurred because the change in #38539 would determine the set
of used pipes up-front, independent from the template compilation using
the `R3TargetBinder`. However, `R3TargetBinder` did not consider
expressions within ICUs, so any pipe usages within those expressions
would not be detected. This fix unblocks #38539 and also concerns
upcoming linker work, given that prelink compilations would not go

In a microsyntax expressions, some attributes are not bound after

In this case, `ngFor` should be a literal attribute with no RHS value.

The `R3TargetBinder` accepts an interface for directive metadata which
declares types for `input` and `output` objects. These types convey the
mapping between the property names for an input or output and the
corresponding property name on the component class. Due to
`R3TargetBinder`'s requirements, this mapping was specified with property
names as keys and field names as values.
However, because of duck typing, this interface was accidentally satisifed
by the opposite mapping, of field names to property names, that was produced
in other parts of the compiler. This form more naturally represents the data
model for inputs.
Rather than accept the field -> property mapping and invert it, this commit
introduces a new abstraction for such mappings which is bidirectional,
eliminating the ambiguous plain object type. This mapping uses new,
unambiguous terminology ("class property name" and "binding property name")
and can be used to satisfy both the needs of the binder as well as those of
the template type-checker (field -> property).
A new test ensures that the input/output metadata produced by the compiler
during analysis is directly compatible with the binder via this unambiguous
new interface.

Previously, the compiler was not able to display template parsing errors as
true `ts.Diagnostic`s that point inside the template. Instead, it would
throw an actual `Error`, and "crash" with a stack trace containing the

to also crash as the user is editing a template (in actuality the LS has to
work around this bug).
With this commit, such parsing errors are converted to true template
