Support for using the `ngModel` input property and `ngModelChange`
event with reactive form directives has been deprecated in
Angular v6 and will be removed in Angular v7.
Now deprecated:
```html
<input [formControl]="control" [(ngModel)]="value">
```
```ts
this.value = 'some value';
```
This has been deprecated for a few reasons. First, developers have
found this pattern confusing. It seems like the actual `ngModel`
directive is being used, but in fact it's an input/output property
named `ngModel` on the reactive form directive that simply approximates
(some of) its behavior. Specifically, it allows getting/setting the
value and intercepting value events. However, some of `ngModel`'s other
features - like delaying updates with`ngModelOptions` or exporting the
directive - simply don't work, which has understandably caused some
confusion.
In addition, this pattern mixes template-driven and reactive forms
strategies, which we generally don't recommend because it doesn't take
advantage of the full benefits of either strategy. Setting the value in
the template violates the template-agnostic principles behind reactive
forms, whereas adding a FormControl/FormGroup layer in the class removes
the convenience of defining forms in the template.
To update your code before v7, you'll want to decide whether to stick
with reactive form directives (and get/set values using reactive forms
patterns) or switch over to template-driven directives.
After (choice 1 - use reactive forms):
```html
<input [formControl]="control">
```
```ts
this.control.setValue('some value');
```
After (choice 2 - use template-driven forms):
```html
<input [(ngModel)]="value">
```
```ts
this.value = 'some value';
```
You can also choose to silence this warning by providing a config for
`ReactiveFormsModule` at import time:
```ts
imports: [
ReactiveFormsModule.withConfig({warnOnNgModelWithFormControl: 'never'});
]
```
Alternatively, you can choose to surface a separate warning for each
instance of this pattern with a config value of `"always"`. This may
help to track down where in the code the pattern is being used as the
code is being updated.
Note: `warnOnNgModelWithFormControl` is set up as deprecated so that it
can be removed in v7 when it is no longer needed. This will not display
properly in API docs yet because dgeni doesn't yet support deprecating
properties in object literals, but we have an open issue to resolve the
discrepancy here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/22640.

This change brings Angular largely in line with how AngularJS previously serialized URLs. This is based on RFC 3986 and resolves issues such as the above #10280 where URLs could be parsed, re-serialized, then parsed again producing a different result on the second parsing.
Adjustments to be aware of in this commit:
* URI fragments will now serialize the same as query strings
* In the URI path or segments (portion prior to query string and/or fragment), the plus sign (`+`) and ampersand (`&`) will appear decoded
* In the URL path or segments, parentheses values (`(` and `)`) will now appear percent encoded as `%28` and `%29` respectively
* In the URL path or segments, semicolons will be encoded in their percent encoding `%3B`
NOTE: Parentheses and semicolons denoting auxillary routes or matrix params will still appear in their decoded form -- only parentheses and semicolons used as values in a segment or key/value pair for matrix params will be encoded.
While these changes are not considered breaking because applications should be decoding URLs and key/value pairs, it is possible that some unit tests will break if comparing hard-coded URLs in tests since that hard coded string will represent the old encoding. Therefore we are releasing this fix in the upcoming Angular v6 rather than adding it to a patch for v5.

"ng update" supports having multiple packages as part of a group which should be updated together, meaning that e.g. calling "ng update @angular/core" would be equivalent to updating all packages of the group (that are part of the package.json already).
In order to support the grouping feature, the package.json of the version the user is updating to needs to include an "ng-update" key that points to this metadata.

The function provided by `ngUpgrade` as `parentBoundTranscludeFn` when
upgrading a component with transclusion, will break in AngularJS v1.5.8+

This commit bundles 3 important changes, with the goal of enabling tree-shaking
of services which are never injected. Ordinarily, this tree-shaking is prevented
by the existence of a hard dependency on the service by the module in which it
is declared.
Firstly, @Injectable() is modified to accept a 'scope' parameter, which points
to an @NgModule(). This reverses the dependency edge, permitting the module to
not depend on the service which it "provides".
Secondly, the runtime is modified to understand the new relationship created
above. When a module receives a request to inject a token, and cannot find that
token in its list of providers, it will then look at the token for a special
ngInjectableDef field which indicates which module the token is scoped to. If
that module happens to be in the injector, it will behave as if the token
itself was in the injector to begin with.
Thirdly, the compiler is modified to read the @Injectable() metadata and to
generate the special ngInjectableDef field as part of TS compilation, using the
PartialModules system.
Additionally, this commit adds several unit and integration tests of various
flavors to test this change.
PR Close#22005
All of the providers in a module get compiled into a module definition in the
factory file. Some of these providers are for the actual module types, as those
are available for injection in Angular. For tree-shakeable tokens, the runtime

This change adds a NodeFlag which tags those module providers for later
identification.

When the SW fetches URLs listed in a manifest with hashes, it checks
the content hash against the manifest to make sure it has the correct
version of the URL. In the event of a mismatch, the SW is supposed to
consider the manifest invalid, and avoid using it. There are 3 cases
to consider by which this can happen.
Case 1: during the initial SW installation, a manifest is activated
without waiting for every URL to be fully loaded. In the background,
every prefetch URL listed by the manifest is requested and cached.
One such prefetch request could fail the hash test, and cause the
manifest to be treated as invalid. In such a case, the SW should
enter a state of EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY, as the latest manifest is
invalid.
This case works today.
Case 2: during the initial SW installation, as in Case 1, a manifest
is activated without waiting for each URL to fully load. However,
it's possible that the application could request a URL with a bad
hash before background initialization tries to load that URL. This
happens if, for example, the application has a broken index.html.
In this case, the SW should enter a state of EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY,
and serve the request from the network instead.
What happens today is that the internal error escapes the SW and
is returned as a rejected Promise to respondWith(), causing a
browser-level error that the site cannot be loaded, breaking the
site.
This change allows the SW to detect the error and enter the correct
state, falling back on the network if needed.
Case 3: during checkForUpdate(), the SW will try to fully cache the
new update before making it the latest version. Failure here is
complicated - if the page fails to load due to transient network
conditions (timeouts, 500s, etc), then it makes sense to continue
serving the existing cached version, and attempt to activate the
update on the next cycle.
If the page fails due to non-transient conditions though (400 error,
hash mismatch, etc), then the SW should consider the updated
manifest invalid, and enter a state of EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY.
Currently, all errors are treated as transient.
This change causes the SW to treat all errors during updates as
non-transient, which can cause the SW to unnecessarily enter a
safe mode. A future change can allow the SW to remain in normal mode
if the error is provably transient.

Currently the Service Worker checks for updates only on SW startup,
an event which happens frequently but also nondeterministically. This
makes it hard for developers to observe the update process or reason
about how updates will be delivered to users. This problem is
exacerbated by the DevTools behavior of keeping the SW alive
indefinitely while opened, effectively preventing the page from
updating at all.
This change causes the SW to additionally check for updates on
navigation requests (app page reloads). This creates deterministic
update behavior, and is much easier for developers to reason about.
It does leave the old update-on-SW-startup behavior in place, as
removing that would be a breaking change.
