Libraries can expose directive/component base classes that will be
used by consumer applications. Using such a base class from another
compilation unit works fine with "ngtsc", but when using "ngc", the
compiler will thrown an error saying that the base class is not
part of a NgModule. e.g.
```
Cannot determine the module for class X in Y! Add X to the NgModule to fix it.
```
This seems to be because the logic for distinguishing directives from
abstract directives is scoped to the current compilation unit within
ngc. This causes abstract directives from other compilation units to
be considered as actual directives (causing the exception).

In Angular today, the following pattern works:
```typescript
export class BaseDir {
constructor(@Inject(ViewContainerRef) protected vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({
selector: '[child]',
})
export class ChildDir extends BaseDir {
// constructor inherited from BaseDir
}
```
A decorated child class can inherit a constructor from an undecorated base
class, so long as the base class has metadata of its own (for JIT mode).
This pattern works regardless of metadata in AOT.
In Angular Ivy, this pattern does not work: without the @Directive
annotation identifying the base class as a directive, information about its
constructor parameters will not be captured by the Ivy compiler. This is a
result of Ivy's locality principle, which is the basis behind a number of
compilation optimizations.
As a solution, @Directive() without a selector will be interpreted as a
"directive base class" annotation. Such a directive cannot be declared in an
NgModule, but can be inherited from. To implement this, a few changes are
made to the ngc compiler:
* the error for a selector-less directive is now generated when an NgModule
declaring it is processed, not when the directive itself is processed.
* selector-less directives are not tracked along with other directives in
the compiler, preventing other errors (like their absence in an NgModule)
from being generated from them.

Currently external static symbols which are referenced by AOT
compiler generated code, will be re-exported in the corresponding
`.ngfactory` files.
This way of handling the symbol resolution has been introduced in
favor of avoding dynamically generated module dependencies. This
behavior therefore avoids any strict dependency failures.
Read more about a particular scenario here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/25644#issuecomment-458354439
Now with `ngtsc`, this behavior has changed since `ngtsc` just
introduces these module dependencies in order to properly reference
the external symbol from its original location (also eliminating the need
for factories). Similarly we should provide a way to use the same
behavior with `ngc` because the downside of using the re-exported symbol
resolution is that user-code transformations (e.g. the `ngInjectableDef`
metadata which is added to the user source code), can resolve external
symbols to previous factory symbol re-exports. This is a critical issue
because it means that the actual JIT code references factory files in order
to access external symbols. This means that the generated output cannot
shipped to NPM without shipping the referenced factory files.
A specific example has been reported here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/25644#issue-353554070

This updates the r3_pipe_compiler to not depend on global analysis,

This commit adds a mechanism by which the @angular/core annotations
for @Component, @Injectable, and @NgModule become decorators which,
when executed at runtime, trigger just-in-time compilation of their
associated types. The activation of these decorators is configured
by the ivy_switch mechanism, ensuring that the Ivy JIT engine does
not get included in Angular bundles unless specifically requested.
PR Close#23833
Previously, the compileComponent() and compileDirective() APIs still required
the output of global analysis, even though they only read local information
from that output.
With this refactor, compileComponent() and compileDirective() now define
their inputs explicitly, with the new interfaces R3ComponentMetadata and
R3DirectiveMetadata. compileComponentGlobal() and compileDirectiveGlobal()
are introduced and convert from global analysis output into the new metadata
format.
This refactor also splits out the view compiler into separate files as
r3_view_compiler_local.ts was getting unwieldy.
Finally, this refactor also splits out generation of DI factory functions
into a separate r3_factory utility as the logic is utilized between different
compilers.

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.

Structural directives can now specify a type guard that describes
what types can be inferred for an input expression inside the
directive's template.
NgIf was modified to declare an input guard on ngIf.
After this change, `fullTemplateTypeCheck` will infer that
usage of `ngIf` expression inside it's template is truthy.
For example, if a component has a property `person?: Person`
and a template of `<div *ngIf="person"> {{person.name}} </div>`
the compiler will no longer report that `person` might be null or
undefined.
The template compiler will generate code similar to,
```
if (NgIf.ngIfTypeGuard(instance.person)) {
instance.person.name
}
```
to validate the template's use of the interpolation expression.
Calling the type guard in this fashion allows TypeScript to infer
that `person` is non-null.

We now create 2 programs with exactly the same fileNames and
exactly the same `import` / `export` declarations,
allowing TS to reuse the structure of first program
completely. When passing in an oldProgram and the files didn’t change,
TS can also reuse the old program completely.
This is possible buy adding generated files to TS
in `host.geSourceFile` via `ts.SourceFile.referencedFiles`.
This commit also:
- has a minor side effect on how we generate shared stylesheets:
- previously every import in a stylesheet would generate a new
`.ngstyles.ts` file.
- now, we only generate 1 `.ngstyles.ts` file per entry in `@Component.styleUrls`.
This was required as we need to be able to determine the program files
without loading the resources (which can be async).
- makes all angular related methods in `CompilerHost`
optional, allowing to just use a regular `ts.CompilerHost` as `CompilerHost`.
- simplifies the logic around `Compiler.analyzeNgModules` by introducing `NgAnalyzedFile`.
