The most recent Angular distributions have begun to use __decorate instead of Class.decorators.
This prevents `ngcc` from recognizing the classes and then fails to perform the transform to
ivy format.
Example:
```
var ApplicationModule = /** @class */ (function () {
// Inject ApplicationRef to make it eager...
function ApplicationModule(appRef) {
}
ApplicationModule = __decorate([
NgModule({ providers: APPLICATION_MODULE_PROVIDERS }),
__metadata("design:paramtypes", [ApplicationRef])
], ApplicationModule);
return ApplicationModule;
}());
```
Now `ngcc` recognizes `__decorate([...])` declarations and performs its transform.

In some formats variables are declared as `var` or `let` and only
assigned a value later in the code.
The ngtsc resolver still needs to be able to resolve this value,

The hosts make some assumptions about the layout of the

Previously in Ivy, metadata for directives/components/modules/etc was
carried in .d.ts files inside type information encoded on the
DirectiveDef, ComponentDef, NgModuleDef, etc types of Ivy definition
fields. This works well, but has the side effect of complicating Ivy's
runtime code as these extra generic type parameters had to be specified
as <any> throughout the codebase. *DefInternal types were introduced
previously to mitigate this issue, but that's the wrong way to solve
the problem.
This commit returns *Def types to their original form, with no metadata
attached. Instead, new *DefWithMeta types are introduced that alias the
plain definition types and add extra generic parameters. This way the

compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata

Type constructors are static methods on component/directive types with
no runtime implementation. The methods are used during compilation to
enable inference of a component or directive's generic type parameters
from the types of expressions bound to any of their @Inputs. A type
constructor looks like:
class Directive<T> {
someInput: T;
static ngTypeCtor<T>(init: Partial<Pick<Directive<T>, 'someInput'>>): Directive<T>;
}
It can be used to infer a type for T based on the input:
const _dir = Directive.ngTypeCtor({someInput: 'string'}); // Directive<T>

This commit creates an API for factory functions which allows them
to be inherited from one another. To do so, it differentiates between
the factory function as a wrapper for a constructor and the factory
function in ngInjectableDefs which is determined by a default
provider.
The new form is:
factory: (t?) => new (t || SomeType)(inject(Dep1), inject(Dep2))
The 't' parameter allows for constructor inheritance. A subclass with
no declared constructor inherits its constructor from the superclass.
With the 't' parameter, a subclass can call the superclass' factory
function and use it to create an instance of the subclass.
For @Injectables with configured providers, the factory function is
of the form:
factory: (t?) => t ? constructorInject(t) : provider();
where constructorInject(t) creates an instance of 't' using the
naturally declared constructor of the type, and where provider()
creates an instance of the base type using the special declared
provider on @Injectable.

There is a bug in the existing handling for cross-file references.
Suppose there are two files, module.ts and component.ts.
component.ts declares two components, one of which uses the other.
In the Ivy model, this means the component will get a directives:
reference to the other in its defineComponent call.
That reference is generated by looking at the declared components
of the module (in module.ts). However, the way ngtsc tracks this
reference, it ends up comparing the identifier of the component
in module.ts with the component.ts file, detecting they're not in
the same file, and generating a relative import.
This commit changes ngtsc to track all identifiers of a reference,
including the one by which it is declared. This allows toExpression()
to correctly decide that a local reference is okay in component.ts.
PR Close#25080
When ngtsc encounters a reference to a type (for example, a Component
type listed in an NgModule declarations array), it traces the import
of that type and attempts to determine the best way to refer to it.
In the event the type is defined in the same file where a reference
is being generated, the identifier of the type is used. If the type
was imported, ngtsc has a choice. It can use the identifier from the
original import, or it can write a new import to the module where the
type came from.
ngtsc has a bug currently when it elects to rely on the user's import.
When writing a .d.ts file, the user's import may have been elided as
the type was not referred to from the type side of the program. Thus,
in .d.ts files ngtsc must always assume the import may not exist, and
generate a new one.
In .js output the import is guaranteed to still exist, so it's
preferable for ngtsc to continue using the existing import if one is
available.
This commit changes how @angular/compiler writes type definitions, and
allows it to use a different expression to write a type definition than
is used to write the value. This allows ngtsc to specify that types in
type definitions should always be imported. A corresponding change to
the staticallyResolve() Reference system allows the choice of which
type of import to use when generating an Expression from a Reference.

This has two problems.
1. If the class type has generic type parameters, TypeScript will

1. Class types are now represented using the `typeof` operator, so the
above declarations would be represented as:

arguments.

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.
