The proposed ES dynamic import() is now supported by the Angular CLI and the
larger toolchain. This renders the `loadChildren: string` API largely
redundant, as import() is far more natural, is less error-prone, and is
standards compliant. This commit deprecates the `string` form of
`loadChildren` in favor of dynamic import().
DEPRECATION:
When defining lazy-loaded route, Angular previously offered two options for
configuring the module to be loaded, both via the `loadChildren` parameter
of the route. Most Angular developers are familiar withthe `string` form of
this API. For example, the following route definition configures Angular to
load a `LazyModule` NgModule from `lazy-route/lazy.module.ts`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: 'lazy-route/lazy.module#LazyModule',
}]
```
This "magic string" configuration was previously necessary as there was
no dynamic module loading standard on the web. This has changed with the
pending standardization of dynamic `import()` expressions, which are now
supported in the Angular CLI and in web tooling in general. `import()`
offers a more natural and robust solution to dynamic module loading. The
above example can be rewritten to use dynamic `import()`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: () => import('./lazy-route/lazy.module').then(mod => mod.LazyModule),
}]
```
This form of lazy loading offers significant advantages in terms of:
* type checking via TypeScript
* simplicity of generated code
* future potential to run natively in supporting browsers
(see: [caniuse: dynamic import()](https://caniuse.com/#feat=es6-module-dynamic-import))
As a result, Angular is deprecating the `loadChildren: string` syntax in
favor of ES dynamic `import()`. An automatic migration will run during
`ng upgrade` to convert your existing Angular code to the new syntax.

Fixes view and content queries not being inherited in Ivy, if the base class hasn't been annotated with an Angular decorator (e.g. `Component` or `Directive`).
Also reworks the way the `ngBaseDef` is created so that it is added at the same point as the queries, rather than inside of the `Input` and `Output` decorators.
This PR partially resolves FW-1275. Support for host bindings will be added in a follow-up, because this PR is somewhat large as it is.

With dts bundles, `core.d.ts` will include an `EventListener` class as it's used in 303eae918d/packages/core/src/debug/debug_node.ts (L32)
This will conflict with the DOM EventListener, as anything in `core.d.ts` which is using the DOM EventListener will fallback in using the one defined in the same module and hence build will fail because their implementation is different.
With this change, we rename the local `EventListener` to `DebugEventListener`, the later one is non exported.

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.

Currently in Ivy we pass both the raw and parsed selectors to the projectionDef instruction, because the parsed selectors are used to match most nodes, whereas the raw ones are used to match against nodes with the ngProjectAs attribute. The raw selectors add a fair bit of code that won't be used in most cases, because ngProjectAs is somewhat rare.
These changes rework the compiler not to output the raw selectors in the projectionDef, but to parse the selector in ngProjectAs and to store it on the TAttributes. The logic for matching has also been changed so that it matches the pre-parsed ngProjectAs selector against the list of projection selectors.

Adds an overload to TestBed.get making parameters strongly typed and

still returns `any` to prevent build breakages, but eventually stronger

This new interface will match classes whether they are abstract or
concrete. Casting as `AbstractType<MyConcrete>` will return a type that
isn't newable. This type will be used to match abstract classes in the
`get()` functions of `Injector` and `TestBed`.
Type isn't used yet so this isn't a breaking change.

If an interface is not exported publicly from its package, then the doc-gen
does not see it, and so cannot include it in the generated documentation.
This was the case for a number of `...Decorator` interfaces, such as
`PipeDecorator` and `InputDecorator.
This commit adds these interfaces to the public export to fix this problem.

Prior to this commit, the timing of `ViewChild`/`ContentChild` query
resolution depended on the results of each query. If any results
for a particular query were nested inside embedded views (e.g.
*ngIfs), that query would be resolved after change detection ran.
Otherwise, the query would be resolved as soon as nodes were created.
This inconsistency in resolution timing had the potential to cause
confusion because query results would sometimes be available in
ngOnInit, but sometimes wouldn't be available until ngAfterContentInit
or ngAfterViewInit. Code depending on a query result could suddenly
stop working as soon as an *ngIf or an *ngFor was added to the template.
With this commit, users can dictate when they want a particular
`ViewChild` or `ContentChild` query to be resolved with the `static`
flag. For example, one can mark a particular query as `static: false`
to ensure change detection always runs before its results are set:
```ts
@ContentChild('foo', {static: false}) foo !: ElementRef;
```
This means that even if there isn't a query result wrapped in an
*ngIf or an *ngFor now, adding one to the template later won't change
the timing of the query resolution and potentially break your component.
Similarly, if you know that your query needs to be resolved earlier
(e.g. you need results in an ngOnInit hook), you can mark it as
`static: true`.
```ts
@ViewChild(TemplateRef, {static: true}) foo !: TemplateRef;
```
Note: this means that your component will not support *ngIf results.
If you do not supply a `static` option when creating your `ViewChild` or
`ContentChild` query, the default query resolution timing will kick in.
Note: This new option only applies to `ViewChild` and `ContentChild`
queries, not `ViewChildren` or `ContentChildren` queries, as those types
already resolve after CD runs.

`NgModule` requires that `Component`s/`Directive`s/`Pipe`s are listed in
declarations, and that each `Component`s/`Directive`s/`Pipe` is declared
in exactly one `NgModule`. This change adds runtime checks to ensure
that these sementics are true at runtime.
There will need to be seperate set of checks for the AoT path of the
codebase to verify that same set of semantics hold. Due to current
design there does not seem to be an easy way to share the two checks
because JIT deal with references where as AoT deals with AST nodes.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The public API for `DebugNode` was accidentally too broad. This change removes
1. Public constructor. Since `DebugNode` is a way for Angular to communicate information
on to the developer there is no reason why the developer should ever need to
Instantiate the `DebugNode`
2. We are also removing `removeChild`, `addChild`, `insertBefore`, and `insertChildAfter`.
All of these methods are used by Angular to constructor the correct `DebugNode` tree.
There is no reason why the developer should ever be constructing a `DebugNode` tree
And these methods should have never been made public.
3. All properties have been change to `readonly` since `DebugNode` is used by Angular
to communicate to developer and there is no reason why these APIs should be writable.
While technically breaking change we don’t expect anyone to be effected by this change.

This fixes an issue where a value would hide the type.
```
export interface Foo {
someMethod(): void;
}
export const Foo: Function = ...;
```
In the above example the `Foo` constant will hide the `interface Foo` symbol.
This change properly saves the interface in addition to the type.

A recent commit (probably 2c7386c) has changed the import graph of the
DI types in core, and somehow results in the ngc compiler deciding to
re-export core DI types from application factories which tangentially
use inject(). This is not really surprising; ngc's import graph can be
very unstable.
However, this results in a re-export of InjectFlags surviving JS
compilation. InjectFlags was a const enum, akin to an interface in TS,
with no runtime repesentation. This causes a warning to be emitted by
Webpack when it sees the re-export of InjectFlags.
This commit avoids the issue by removing 'const' from the declaration
of InjectFlags, causing it to have a runtime value. This is a temporary
fix. The real fix will be for ngc to no longer write exports of const
enums.
Testing strategy: manually verified. Due to the problem only manifesting
when recompiling after a change and then running Webpack, there is no
existing framework via which this could be easily tested with an
integration test. Additionally, the potential for this issue is gone in
Ivy, so this solution is only temporarily needed.
Fixes#27251.

Within an @NgModule it's common to include in the imports a call to
a ModuleWithProviders function, for example RouterModule.forRoot().
The old ngc compiler was able to handle this pattern because it had
global knowledge of metadata of not only the input compilation unit
but also all dependencies.
The ngtsc compiler for Ivy doesn't have this knowledge, so the
pattern of ModuleWithProviders functions is more difficult. ngtsc
must be able to determine which module is imported via the function
in order to expand the selector scope and properly tree-shake
directives and pipes.
This commit implements a solution to this problem, by adding a type
parameter to ModuleWithProviders through which the actual module
type can be passed between compilation units.
The provider side isn't a problem because the imports are always
copied directly to the ngInjectorDef.
