Angular hooks come after 2 flavours:
- init hooks (OnInit, AfterContentInit, AfterViewInit);
- check hooks (OnChanges, DoChanges, AfterContentChecked, AfterViewChecked).
We need to do more processing for init hooks to ensure that those hooks
are run once and only once for a given directive (even in case of errors).
As soon as all init hooks execute to completion we are only left with the
checks to execute.
It turns out that keeping track of the remaining init hooks to execute is
rather expensive (multiple LView flags reads, writes and checks). But we can
observe that non of this tracking is needed as soon as all init hooks are
completed.
This PR takes advantage of the above observations and splits hooks processing
functions into:
- init-specific (slower but less common);
- check-specific (faster and more common).
NOTE: there is code duplication in this PR and it is left like this intentinally:
hand-inlining this perf-critical code makes the view refresh process substentially
faster.

Prior to this commit, we had two different modes for change detection
execution for Ivy, depending on whether you called `bootstrap()` or
`renderComponent()`. In the former case, we would complete creation
mode for all components in the tree before beginning update mode for
any component. In the latter case, we would run creation mode and
update mode together for each component individually.
Maintaining code to support these two different execution orders was
unnecessarily complex, so this commit aligns the two bootstrapping
mechanisms to execute in the same order. Now creation mode always
runs for all components before update mode begins.
This change also simplifies our rendering logic so that we use
`LView` flags as the source of truth for rendering mode instead of
`rf` function arguments. This fixed some related bugs (e.g. calling
`ViewRef.detectChanges` synchronously after the view's creation
would create view nodes twice, view queries would execute twice, etc).

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
only code that needs to deal with the extra metadata parameters is the
compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata
is transparent to the runtime, as it should be.

This change supports compilation of components, directives, and modules
within ngtsc. Support is not complete, but is enough to compile and test
//packages/core/test/bundling/todo in full AOT mode. Code size benefits
are not yet achieved as //packages/core itself does not get compiled, and
some decorators (e.g. @Input) are not stripped, leading to unwanted code
being retained by the tree-shaker. This will be improved in future commits.

Ivy definition looks something like this:
```
class MyService {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
…
});
}
```
Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an `OpaqueToken`.
By prefixing the type with `ɵ` we are communicating the the outside world that
the value is not public API and is subject to change without backward compatibility.
