This PR provides a more helpful error than the one currently present:
`el.setAttribute is not a function`. It is not valid to have directives with host bindings
on `ng-template` or `ng-container` nodes. VE would silently ignore this, while Ivy
attempts to set the attribute and throws an error because these are comment nodes
and do not have `setAttribute` functionality.
It is better to throw a helpful error than to silently ignore this because
putting a directive with host binding on an `ng-template` or `ng-container` is most often a mistake.
Developers should be made aware that the host binding will have no effect in these cases.
Note that an error is already thrown in Ivy, as mentioned above, so this
is not a breaking change and can be merged to both master and patch.

Previously all static styling information (including the ones from component/directive host bindings) would get merged into a single value before it would be written into the `@Input('class'/'style')`. The new behavior specifically excludes host values from the `@Input` bindings.

Changes the Ivy unknown element/property messages from being logged with `console.warn` to `console.error`. This should make them a bit more visible without breaking existing apps. Furthermore, a lot of folks filter out warning messages in the dev tools' console, whereas errors are usually still shown.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Warnings about unknown elements are now logged as errors. This won't break your app, but it may trip up tools that expect nothing to be logged via `console.error`.

Only refresh transplanted views at the insertion location in Ivy.
Previously, Ivy would check transplanted views at both the insertion and
declaration points. This is achieved by adding a marker to the insertion
tree when we encounter a transplanted view that needs to be refreshed at
its declaration. We use this marker as an extra indication that we still
need to descend and refresh those transplanted views at their insertion
locations even if the insertion view and/or its parents are not dirty.
This change fixes several issues:
* Transplanted views refreshed twice if both insertion and declaration
are dirty. This could be an error if the insertion component changes
result in data not being available to the transplanted view because it
is slated to be removed.
* CheckAlways transplanted views not refreshed if shielded by
non-dirty OnPush (fixes#35400)
* Transplanted views still refreshed when insertion tree is detached
(fixes#21324)

If there's an error during the first creation pass of a `TView`, the data structure may be corrupted which will cause framework assertion failures downstream which can mask the user's error. These changes add a new flag to the `TView` that indicates whether the first creation pass was successful, and if it wasn't we try re-create the `TView`.

Prior to this change, animations-related runtime logic assumed that the @HostBinding and @HostListener with synthetic (animations) props are used for Components only. However having @HostBinding and @HostListener with synthetic props on Directives is also supported by View Engine. This commit updates the logic to select correct renderer to execute instructions (current renderer for Directives and sub-component renderer for Components).

Prior to this commit unbound attributes were treated as possible inputs to structural directives. Since structural directives can only accepts inputs defined using microsyntax expression (e.g. `<div *dir="exp">`), such unbound attributes should not be considered as inputs.

Currently destroy hooks are stored in memory as `[1, hook, 5, hook]` where
the numbers represent the index at which to find the context and `hook` is
the function to be invoked. This breaks down for `multi` providers,
because the value at the index will be an array of providers, resulting in
the hook being invoked with an array of all the multi provider values,
rather than the provider that was destroyed. In ViewEngine `ngOnDestroy`
wasn't being called for `multi` providers at all.
These changes fix the issue by changing the structure of the destroy hooks to `[1, hook, 5, [0, hook, 3, hook]]` where the indexes inside the inner array point to the provider inside of the multi provider array. Note that this is slightly different from the original design which called for the structure to be `[1, hook, 5, [hook, hook]`, because in the process of implementing it, I realized that we wouldn't get passing the correct context if only some of the `multi` providers have `ngOnDestroy` and others don't.
I've run the newly-added `view_destroy_hooks` benchmark against these changes and compared it to master. The difference seems to be insignificant (between 1% and 2% slower).

This commit performs a few updates to internal functions that would be required in upcoming changes to support synthetic host bindings in Directives.
* the `elementPropertyInternal` function was refactored to accept renderer as an argument (prior to that, there was a function that loads the renderer in some specific way for animation bindings)
* `elementPropertyInternal`, `elementAttributeInternal` and `listenerInternal` functions were updated to have a fixed set of arguments (for better performance)
* `elementPropertyInternal` and `elementAttributeInternal` functions were updated to take `tNode` as an argument instead of passing node index (that was used to retrieve `tNode` internally), in some cases we already have `tNode` available or we can retrieve it from the state
The refactoring was triggered by the need to pass different renderers to the `elementPropertyInternal` to support synthetic host bindings in Directives (see this comment for additional context: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/35568/files#r388034584).

Before this change `[class]` and `[className]` were both converted into `ɵɵclassMap`. The implication of this is that at runtime we could not differentiate between the two and as a result we treated `@Input('class')` and `@Input('className)` as equivalent.
This change makes `[class]` and `[className]` distinct. The implication of this is that `[class]` becomes `ɵɵclassMap` instruction but `[className]` becomes `ɵɵproperty' instruction. This means that `[className]` will no longer participate in styling and will overwrite the DOM `class` value.

- Adds `TView` into `LFrame`, read the `TView` from `LView` on `enterView`.
- Before this change the `TView` was ofter looked up from `LView` as `lView[TVIEW]`. This is suboptimal since reading from an Array, requires that the read checks array size before the read. This means that such a read has a much higher cost than reading from the property directly. By passing in the `TView` explicitly it makes the code more explicit and faster.
- Some rearrangements of arguments so that `TView` would come before `LView` for consistency.

This change changes the priority order of static styling.
Current priority:
```
(least priority)
- Static
- Component
- Directives
- Template
- Dynamic Binding
- Component
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Directives
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Template
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
(highest priority)
```
The issue with the above priority is this use case:
```
<div style="color: red;" directive-which-sets-color-blue>
```
In the above case the directive will win and the resulting color will be `blue`. However a small change of adding interpolation to the example like so. (Style interpolation is coming in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/34202)
```
<div style="color: red; width: {{exp}}px" directive-which-sets-color-blue>
```
Changes the priority from static binding to interpolated binding which means now the resulting color is `red`. It is very surprising that adding an unrelated interpolation and style can change the `color` which was not changed. To fix that we need to make sure that the static values are associated with priority of the source (directive or template) where they were declared. The new resulting priority is:
```
(least priority)
- Component
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Directives
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Template
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property

We had some logic for generating and passing in the `elIndex` parameter into the `hostBindings` function, but it wasn't actually being used for anything. The only place left that had a reference to it was the `StylingBuilder` and it only stored it without referencing it again.
PR Close#34969
Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.
PR Close#34804
NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

Fixes Ivy detecting changes inside child embedded views, even though they're detached.
Note that there's on subtlety here: I made the changes inside `refreshDynamicEmbeddedViews` rather than `refreshView`, because we support detecting changes on a detached view (evidenced by a couple of unit tests), but only if it's triggered directly from the view's `ChangeDetectorRef`, however we shouldn't be detecting changes in the detached child view when something happens in the parent.

This commit fixes a compatibility bug where pre-order lifecycle
hooks (onInit, doCheck, OnChanges) for directives on the same
host node were executed based on the order the directives were
matched, rather than the order the directives were instantiated
(i.e. injection order).
This discrepancy can cause issues with forms, where it is common
to inject NgControl and try to extract its control property in
ngOnInit. As the NgControl directive is injected, it should be
instantiated before the control value accessor directive (and
thus its hooks should run first). This ensures that the NgControl
ngOnInit can set up the form control before the ngOnInit
for the control value accessor tries to access it.

When debugging `LView`s it is easy to get lost since all of them have
the same name. This change does three things:
1. It makes `TView` have an explicit type:
- `Host`: for the top level `TView` for bootstrap
- `Component`: for the `TView` which represents components template
- `Embedded`: for the `TView` which represents an embedded template
2. It changes the name of `LView` to `LHostView`, `LComponentView`, and
`LEmbeddedView` depending on the `TView` type.
3. For `LComponentView` and `LEmbeddedView` we also append the name of
of the `context` constructor. The result is that we have `LView`s which
are name as: `LComponentView_MyComponent` and `LEmbeddedView_NgIfContext`.
The above changes will make it easier to understand the structure of the
application when debugging.
NOTE: All of these are behind `ngDevMode` and will get removed in
production application.
