The types of directives and pipes that are used in a component's
template may be emitted into the partial declaration wrapped inside a
closure, which is needed when the type is declared later in the module.
This poses a problem for JIT compilation of partial declarations, as
this closure is indistinguishable from a class reference itself. To mark
the forward reference function as such, this commit changes the partial
declaration codegen to emit a `forwardRef` invocation wrapped around
the closure, which ensures that the closure is properly tagged as a
forward reference. This allows the forward reference to be treated as
such during JIT compilation.

This allows the code generation to correspond with a type, which is
helpful for documentation and discoverability purposes. This does not
offer any type-safety with respect to the actually generated code.

This commit implements partial compilation of components, together with
linking the partial declaration into its full AOT output.
This commit does not yet enable accurate source maps into external
templates. This requires additional work to account for escape sequences
which is non-trivial. Inline templates that were represented using a
string or template literal are transplated into the partial declaration
output, so their source maps should be accurate. Note, however, that
the accuracy of source maps is not currently verified in tests; this is
also left as future work.
The golden files of partial compilation output have been updated to
reflect the generated code for components. Please note that the current
output should not yet be considered stable.
