When `checkTypeOfPipes` is set to `false`, our TCB currently generates
the a statement like the following when pipes appear in the template:
`(_pipe1 as any).transform(args)`
This did enable us to get _some_ information from the Language Service
about pipes in this case because we still had access to the pipe
instance. However, because it is immediately cast to `any`, we cannot
get type information about the transform access. That means actions like "go to
definition", "find references", "quick info", etc. will return
incomplete information or fail altogether.
Instead, this commit changes the TCB to generate `(_pipe1.transform as any)(args)`.
This gives us the ability to get complete information for the LS
operations listed above.

This commit changes the reference emitters in the Ivy compiler to prefer
non-aliased exports if they exist. This avoids selecting "private
exports" that may not be stable, e.g. the reexports that have been added
by the View Engine compiler. Such reexports are not stable and are
therefore not suitable to be emitted into partial compilations, as the
output of partial compilations should only reference stable symbols
from upstream libraries.
An alternative solution has been considered where ViewEngine-generated
exports would gain a certain prefix, such that the Ivy compiler could
just exclude those exports (see #41443). However, that solution would
be insufficient in case a library is built using partial compilation and
while depending itself on a VE-compiled library from earlier versions of
Angular, where the magic prefix would be missing. For such libraries,
ngcc would have generated reexports using the declared name if not already
present so this change does result in choosing the correct export.
Because ngcc always generates reexports using the declared name even if
an aliased export is present, this change causes those ngcc-generated
exports to be chosen in downstream libraries using partial compilation.
This is unfortunate as it means that the declared names become
effectively public even if the library author was intentionally
exporting it using an alias. This commit does not address this problem;
it is expected that this should not result in widespread issues across
the library ecosystem.

In Angular programs, changing a file may require other files to be
emitted as well due to implicit NgModule dependencies. For example, if
the selector of a directive is changed then all components that have
that directive in their compilation scope need to be recompiled, as the
change of selector may affect the directive matching results.
Until now, the compiler solved this problem using a single dependency
graph. The implicit NgModule dependencies were represented in this
graph, such that a changed file would correctly also cause other files
to be re-emitted. This approach is limited in a few ways:
1. The file dependency graph is used to determine whether it is safe to
reuse the analysis data of an Angular decorated class. This analysis
data is invariant to unrelated changes to the NgModule scope, but
because the single dependency graph also tracked the implicit
NgModule dependencies the compiler had to consider analysis data as
stale far more often than necessary.
2. It is typical for a change to e.g. a directive to not affect its
public API—its selector, inputs, outputs, or exportAs clause—in which
case there is no need to re-emit all declarations in scope, as their
compilation output wouldn't have changed.
This commit implements a mechanism by which the compiler is able to
determine the impact of a change by comparing it to the prior
compilation. To achieve this, a new graph is maintained that tracks all
public API information of all Angular decorated symbols. During an
incremental compilation this information is compared to the information
that was captured in the most recently succeeded compilation. This
determines the exact impact of the changes to the public API, which
is then used to determine which files need to be re-emitted.
Note that the file dependency graph remains, as it is still used to
track the dependencies of analysis data. This graph does no longer track
the implicit NgModule dependencies, which allows for better reuse of
analysis data.
These changes also fix a bug where template type-checking would fail to
incorporate changes made to a transitive base class of a
directive/component. This used to be a problem because transitive base
classes were not recorded as a transitive dependency in the file
dependency graph, such that prior type-check blocks would erroneously
be reused.
This commit also fixes an incorrectness where a change to a declaration
in NgModule `A` would not cause the declarations in NgModules that
import from NgModule `A` to be re-emitted. This was intentionally
incorrect as otherwise the performance of incremental rebuilds would
have been far worse. This is no longer a concern, as the compiler is now
able to only re-emit when actually necessary.
