Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.

NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

This change introduces class/style reconciliation algorithm for DOM elements.
NOTE: The code is not yet hooked up, it will be used by future style algorithm.
Background:
Styling algorithm currently has [two paths](https://hackmd.io/@5zDGNGArSxiHhgvxRGrg-g/rycZk3N5S)
when computing how the style should be rendered.
1. A direct path which concatenates styling and uses `elemnent.className`/`element.style.cssText` and
2. A merge path which uses internal data structures and uses `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`.
The situation is confusing and hard to follow/maintain. So a future PR will remove the merge-path and do everything with
direct-path. This however breaks when some other code adds class or style to the element without Angular's knowledge.
If this happens instead of switching from direct-path to merge-path algorithm, this change provides a different mental model
whereby we always do `direct-path` but the code which writes to the DOM detects the situation and reconciles the out of bound write.
The reconciliation process is as follows:
1. Detect that no one has modified `className`/`cssText` and if so just write directly (fast path).
2. If out of bounds write did occur, switch from writing using `className`/`cssText` to `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`.
This does require that the write function computes the difference between the previous Angular expected state and current Angular state.
(This requires a parser. The advantage of having a parser is that we can support `style="width: {{exp}}px" kind of bindings.`)
Compute the diff and apply it in non destructive way using `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`
Properties of approach:
- If no out of bounds style modification:
- Very fast code path: Just concatenate string in right order and write them to DOM.
- Class list order is preserved
- If out of bounds style modification detected:
- Penalty for parsing
- Switch to non destructive modification: `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`
- Switch to alphabetical way of setting classes.

Before ivy it was possible to configure a mutable service value
in an application initializer (by providing an `APP_INITIALIZER`)
that could be read in the provider of `LOCALE_ID`. This is a common
scenario if you wanted to load the locale id asynchronously from
an HTTP request for instance.
When using the ivy, the runtime needs to be told what the current
locale is, which is done by calling the `setLocaleId()` function with
the value injected by the `LOCALE_ID` token. Previously this was
being done before the application initializers were run, which meant
that the `LOCALE_ID` provider was being executed before the
app initializers had a chance to get a new value for it.
Now this initalization of the locale for the ivy runtime is done after the
application initializers have been run.

The main logic of the `InheritDefinitionFeature` is to go through the prototype chain of a given Component and merge all Angular-specific information onto that Component def. The problem happens in case there is a Component in a hierarchy that also contains the `InheritDefinitionFeature` (i.e. it extends some other Component), so it inherits all Angular-specific information from its super class. As a result, the root Component may end up having duplicate information inherited from different Components in hierarchy.
Let's consider the following structure: `GrandChild` extends `Child` that extends `Base` and the `Base` class has a `HostListener`. In this scenario `GrandChild` and `Child` will have `InheritDefinitionFeature` included into the `features` list. The processing will happend in the following order:
- `Child` inherits `HostListener` from the `Base` class
- `GrandChild` inherits `HostListener` from the `Child` class
- since `Child` has a parent, `GrandChild` also inherits from the `Base` class
The result is that the `GrandChild` def has duplicated host listener, which is not correct.
This commit introduces additional logic that checks whether we came across a def that has `InheritDefinitionFeature` feature (which means that this def already inherited information from its super classes). If that's the case, we skip further fields-related inheritance logic, but keep going though the prototype chain to look for super classes that contain other features (like NgOnChanges), that we need to invoke for a given Component def.

Currently we only run Saucelabs on PRs using the legacy View Engine
build. Switching that build to Ivy is not trivial and there are various
options:
1. Updating the R3 switches to use POST_R3 by default. At first glance,
this doesn't look easy because the current ngtsc switch logic seems to
be unidirectional (only PRE_R3 to POST_R3).
2. Updating the legacy setup to run with Ivy. This sounds like the easiest
solution at first.. but it turns out to be way more complicated. Packages
would need to be built with ngtsc using legacy tools (i.e. first building
the compiler-cli; and then building packages) and View Engine only tests
would need to be determined and filtered out. Basically it will result in
re-auditing all test targets. This is contradictory to the fact that we have
this information in Bazel already.
3. Creating a new job that runs tests on Saucelabs with Bazel. We specify
fine-grained test targets that should run. This would be a good start
(e.g. acceptance tests) and also would mean that we do not continue maintaining
the legacy setup..
This commit implements the third option as it allows us to move forward
with the general Bazel migration. We don't want to spend too much time
on our legacy setup since it will be removed anyway in the future.

Originally, QueryList implemented Iterable and provided a Symbol.iterator
on its prototype. This caused issues with tree-shaking, so QueryList was
refactored and the Symbol.iterator added in its constructor instead. As
part of this change, QueryList no longer implemented Iterable directly.
Unfortunately, this meant that QueryList was no longer assignable to
Iterable or, consequently, NgIterable. NgIterable is used for NgFor's input,
so this meant that QueryList was not usable (in a type sense) for NgFor
iteration. View Engine's template type checking would not catch this, but
Ivy's did.
As a fix, this commit adds the declaration (but not the implementation) of
the Symbol.iterator function back to QueryList. This has no runtime effect,
