This method is a more convenient and efficient way of removing all
components from a FormArray. Before it, we needed to loop the FormArray
removing each component until empty.

This PR also changes the name of NgNoValidate` to `ɵNgNoValidate`. 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 NgNoValidate{
}
export {NgNoValidateas ɵNgNoValidate}
```
will be emitted as
```ts
export declare class ɵNgNoValidate {
}
```

This change helps highlight certain misoptimizations with Closure
compiler. It is also stylistically preferable to consistently use index
access on index sig types.
Roughly, when one sees '.foo' they know it is always checked for typos
in the prop name by the type system (unless 'any'), while "['foo']" is
always not.
Once all angular repos are conforming this will become a tsetse.info
check, enforced by bazel.

BREAKING CHANGE
Previous to this change, when a control was reset, value and status change
events would be emitted before the control was reset to pristine. As a
result, if one were to check a control's pristine state in a valueChange
listener, it would appear that the control was still dirty after reset.
This change delays emission of value and status change events until after
controls have been marked pristine. This means the pristine state will be
reset as expected if one checks in a listener.
Theoretically, there could be applications depending on checking whether a
control *used to be dirty*, so this is marked as breaking. In these cases,
apps should cache the state on the app side before calling reset.

@angular/forms declares several directives and a module which are not
exported from the package via the entrypoint, either intentionally or as a
historical accident.
Ivy's locality principle necessitates that directives used in user code be
importable from the package which defines them. This requires these forms
directives to be exported.
Several directives which define ControlValueAccessors are exported:
* NumberValueAccessor
* RangeValueAccessor
A few more directives and a module are exported privately (with a ɵ prefix):
* NgNoValidate
* NgSelectMultipleOption
* InternalFormsSharedModule

Internally getError and hasError call the AbstractControl#get method which takes `path: Array<string | number> | string` as input, since there are different ways to traverse the AbstractControl tree.
This change matches the method signitures of all methods that use this.

This has been deprecated to keep selector consistent with other core Angular selectors. As element selectors are in kebab-case.
Now deprecated:
```
<ngForm #myForm="ngForm">
```
After:
```
<ng-form #myForm="ngForm">
```
You can also choose to supress this warnings by providing a config for `FormsModule` during import:
```ts
imports: [
FormsModule.withConfig({warnOnDeprecatedNgFormSelector: 'never'});
]

Within an @NgModule it's common to include in the imports a call to
a ModuleWithProviders function, for example RouterModule.forRoot().
The old ngc compiler was able to handle this pattern because it had
global knowledge of metadata of not only the input compilation unit
but also all dependencies.
The ngtsc compiler for Ivy doesn't have this knowledge, so the
pattern of ModuleWithProviders functions is more difficult. ngtsc
must be able to determine which module is imported via the function
in order to expand the selector scope and properly tree-shake
directives and pipes.
This commit implements a solution to this problem, by adding a type
parameter to ModuleWithProviders through which the actual module
type can be passed between compilation units.
The provider side isn't a problem because the imports are always
copied directly to the ngInjectorDef.
