When the `NgIf` directive is used in a template, its context variables
can be used to capture the bound value. This is typically used together
with a pipe or function call, where the resulting value is captured in a
context variable. There's two syntax forms available:
1. Binding to `NgIfContext.ngIf` using the `as` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="(user$ | async) as user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
2. Binding to `NgIfContext.$implicit` using the `let` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="user$ | async; let user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
Because of the semantics of `ngIf`, it is known that the captured
context variable is non-nullable, however the template type checker
would not consider them as such and still report errors when
`strictNullTypes` is enabled.
This commit updates `NgIf`'s context guard to make the types of the
context variables non-nullable, avoiding the issue.

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 reverts https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/28711
NOTE: This change deletes code and creates a BROKEN SHA. If reverting this SHA needs to be reverted with the next SHA to get back into a valid state.
The change removes the fact that `NgStyle`/`NgClass` is special and colaborates with the `[style]`/`[class]` to merge its styles. By reverting to old behavior we have better backwards compatiblity since it is no longer treated special and simply overwrites the styles (same as VE)

Default currency code in CurrencyPipe is currently hardcoded to USD
and is not configurable. This commit allows the default currency code
to be configurable by adding a DEFAULT_CURRENCY_CODE injection token.
Example:
```
providers: [{ provide: DEFAULT_CURRENCY_CODE, useValue: "GBP" }]
...
{{ 123.45 | currency }} // outputs £123.45 as opposed to always $123.45 before
```

Injectable defs are not considered public API, so the property
that contains them should be prefixed with Angular's marker
for "private" ('ɵ') to discourage apps from relying on def
APIs directly.
This commit adds the prefix and shortens the name from
ngInjectableDef to "prov" (for "provider", since injector defs
are known as "inj"). This is because property names cannot
be minified by Uglify without turning on property mangling
(which most apps have turned off) and are thus size-sensitive.

Currently the `ngForOf` input accepts `null` or `undefined` as valid
values. Although when using strict template input type checking
(which will be supported by `ngtsc`), passing `null` or `undefined`
with strict null checks enabled causes a type check failure because
the type for the `ngForOf` input becomes too strict if strict null checks
are enabled. The type of the input needs to be expanded to also accept
`null` or `undefined` to behave consistently regardless of the
`strictNullChecks` flag.
This is necessary because whenever strict input type checking is enabled
by default, most of the Angular projects that use `*ngFor` with the async pipe
will either need to disable template type checking or strict null checks
because the `async` pipe returns `null` if the observable hasn't been
emitted yet.
See for example how this affects the `angular/components` repository and
how much bloat the workaround involves: https://github.com/angular/components/pull/16373/files#r296942696.

Reworks the compiler to output the factories for directives, components and pipes under a new static field called `ngFactoryFn`, instead of the usual `factory` property in their respective defs. This should eventually allow us to inject any kind of decorated class (e.g. a pipe).
**Note:** these changes are the first part of the refactor and they don't include injectables. I decided to leave injectables for a follow-up PR, because there's some more cases we need to handle when it comes to their factories. Furthermore, directives, components and pipes make up most of the compiler output tests that need to be refactored and it'll make follow-up PRs easier to review if the tests are cleaned up now.
This is part of the larger refactor for FW-1468.

Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).

Adds overloads to the `transform` methods of `SlicePipe`,
to have better types than `any` for `value` and `any` as a return.
With this commit, using `slice` in an `ngFor` still allow to type-check the content of the `ngFor`
with `fullTemplateTypeCheck` enabled in Ivy:
<div *ngFor="let user of users | slice:0:2">{{ user.typo }}</div>
|
`typo` does not exist on type `UserModel`
whereas it is currently not catched (as the return of `slice` is `any`) neither in VE nor in Ivy.
BREAKING CHANGE
`SlicePipe` now only accepts an array of values, a string, null or undefined.
This was already the case in practice, and it still throws at runtime if another type is given.
But it is now a compilation error to try to call it with an unsupported type.

A structural directive can specify a template guard for an input, such that
the type of that input's binding can be narrowed based on the guard's return
type. Previously, such template guards could only be methods, of which an
invocation would be inserted into the type-check block (TCB). For `NgIf`,
the template guard narrowed the type of its expression to be `NonNullable`
using the following declaration:
```typescript
export declare class NgIf {
static ngTemplateGuard_ngIf<E>(dir: NgIf, expr: E): expr is NonNullable<E>
}
```
This works fine for usages such as `*ngIf="person"` but starts to introduce
false-positives when e.g. an explicit non-null check like
`*ngIf="person !== null"` is used, as the method invocation in the TCB
would not have the desired effect of narrowing `person` to become
non-nullable:
```typescript
if (NgIf.ngTemplateGuard_ngIf(directive, ctx.person !== null)) {
// Usages of `ctx.person` within this block would
// not have been narrowed to be non-nullable.
}
```
This commit introduces a new strategy for template guards to allow for the
binding expression itself to be used as template guard in the TCB. Now,
the TCB generated for `*ngIf="person !== null"` would look as follows:
```typescript
if (ctx.person !== null) {
// This time `ctx.person` will successfully have
// been narrowed to be non-nullable.
}
```
This strategy can be activated by declaring the template guard as a
property declaration with `'binding'` as literal return type.
See #30235 for an example where this led to a false positive.

The LocationShim (replacement for `$location`) was added to centralize dealing with the browser URL. Additionally, an `onUrlChange` method was added to Angular's Location service. This PR adds a corresponding method to the LocationShim so updates from AngularJS can be tracked in Angular.
PR Close#30466
This commit provides a replacement for `$location`. The new service is written in Angular, and can be consumed into existing applications by using the downgraded version
of the provider.
Prior to this addition, applications upgrading from AngularJS to Angular could get into a situation where AngularJS wanted to control the URL, and would often parse or se
rialize the URL in a different way than Angular. Additionally, AngularJS was alerted to URL changes only through the `$digest` cycle. This provided a buggy feedback loop
from Angular to AngularJS.
With this new `LocationUpgradeProvider`, the `$location` methods and events are provided in Angular, and use Angular APIs to make updates to the URL. Additionally, change
s to the URL made by other parts of the Angular framework (such as the Router) will be listened for and will cause events to fire in AngularJS, but will no longer attempt
to update the URL (since it was already updated by the Angular framework).
This centralizes URL reads and writes to Angular and should help provide an easier path to upgrading AngularJS applications to Angular.
PR Close#30055
Without this change, the framework doesn't surface URL parts such as hostname, protocol, and port. This makes it difficult to rebuild a complete URL. This change provides new APIs to read these values.
PR Close#30055
Previously there wasn't a way to retrieve `history.state` from the `Location` service. The only time the framework exposed this value was in navigation events. This meant if you weren't using the Angular router, there wasn't a way to get access to this `history.state` value other than going directly to the DOM.
This PR adds an API to retrieve the value of `history.state`. This will be useful and needed to provide a backwards-compatible `Location` service that can emulate AngularJS's `$location` service since we will need to be able to read the state data in order to produce AngularJS location transition events.
This feature will additionally be useful to any application that wants to access state data through Angular rather than going directly to the DOM APIs.
