Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).

So far using runtime i18n with ivy meant that you needed to use Closure and `goog.getMsg` (or a polyfill). This PR changes the compiler to output both closure & non-closure code, while the unused option will be tree-shaken by minifiers.
This means that if you use the Angular CLI with ivy and load a translations file, you can use i18n and the application will not throw at runtime.
For now it will not translate your application, but at least you can try ivy without having to remove all of your i18n code and configuration.

Following my previous change for placeholders removal, some special code that was used to find the last created node was no longer needed and had wrong interactions with the *ngFor directive.
Removing it fixed the issue.
PR Close#29308
Dynamic nodes are created at the end of the view stack, but we were removing all the placeholders between `i18nStart` and the last created node index, instead of removing everything between `i18nStart` and `i18nEnd`. This caused errors when dynamic nodes where created in multiple i18n blocks because we would remove all of the dynamic nodes created in the previous i18n blocks.

Prior to this commit, i18n instructions (i18n, i18nStart) were generated before listener instructions. As a result, event listeners were attached to the wrong element (text node, not the parent element). This change updates the order of instructions and puts i18n ones after listeners, to make sure listeners are attached to the right elements.
PR Close#29173
Prior to this change i18n block bindings were converted to Expressions right away (once we first access them), when in non-i18n cases we processed them differently: the actual conversion happens at instructions generation. Because of this discrepancy, the output for bindings in i18n blocks was generated incorrectly (with invalid indicies in pipeBindN fns and invalid references to non-existent local variables). Now the bindings processing is unified and i18nExp instructions should contain right bind expressions.

Prior to this change the postprocess step relied on the order of placeholders combined in one group (e.g. [�#1�|�*1:1�]). The order is not guaranteed in case we have nested templates (since we use BFS to process templates) and some tags are represented using same placeholders. This change performs postprocessing more accurate by keeping track of currently active template and searching for matching placeholder.
PR Close#28209
Prior to this change element's i18n attributes like "i18n-title" were processed after "i18n" ones that placed "i18n" and "i18nAttributes" instructions in wrong order, thus "i18nAttributes" failed to target its host element at runtime. This change updates processing order and puts "i18nAttributes" instructions in front of "i18n" ones to resolve the problem.

There were two issues with multiple ICU expressions in the same i18n block:
- the regexp that was used to parse the text wasn't able to handle multiple ICU expressions, I've replaced it with parsing the text and searching for brackets (which is what we ended up doing in the end anyway)
- we allocate node indexes for nodes generated by the ICU expressions which increases the expando value, but we would create the nodes for those cases during the update phase. In the mean time we would create some nodes during the creation phase (comment nodes for ICU expressions, text nodes, ...) with an auto increment index. This means that any node created after an ICU expression would get the following index value, but the ICU case nodes expected to use the same index as well... There was a mismatch between the auto generated index, and the expected index which was causing problems when we needed to select those nodes for updates later on. To fix it, I've added the expected node index to the list of mutate codes that we generate, and we do not use an auto increment value anymore.
