Currently Ivy stores the element attributes into an array above the component def and passes it into the relevant instructions, however the problem is that upon minification the array will get a unique name which won't compress very well. These changes move the attributes array into the component def and pass in the index into the instructions instead.
Before:
```
const _c0 = ['foo', 'bar'];
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', _c0);
}
});
```
After:
```
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
consts: [['foo', 'bar']],
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', 0);
}
});
```
A couple of cases that this PR doesn't handle:
* Template references are still in a separate array.
* i18n attributes are still in a separate array.

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.

This is a refactoring that moves the source code around to provide a better
platform for adding the compile-time inlining.
1. Move the global side-effect import from the primary entry-point to a
secondary entry-point @angular/localize/init.
This has two benefits: first it allows the top level entry-point to
contain tree-shakable shareable code; second it gives the side-effect
import more of an "action" oriented name, which indicates that importing
it does something tangible
2. Move all the source code into the top src folder, and import the localize
related functions into the localize/init/index.ts entry-point.
This allows the different parts of the package to share code without
a proliferation of secondary entry-points (i.e. localize/utils).
3. Avoid publicly exporting any utilities at this time - the only public
API at this point are the global `$localize` function and the two runtime
helpers `loadTranslations()` and `clearTranslations()`.
This does not mean that we will not expose additional helpers for 3rd
party tooling in the future, but it avoid us preemptively exposing
something that we might want to change in the near future.
Notes:
It is not possible to have the `$localize` code in the same Bazel package
as the rest of the code. If we did this, then the bundled `@angular/localize/init`
entry-point code contains all of the helper code, even though most of it is not used.
Equally it is not possible to have the `$localize` types (i.e. `LocalizeFn`
and `TranslateFn`) defined in the `@angular/localize/init` entry-point because
these types are needed for the runtime code, which is inside the primary
entry-point. Importing them from `@angular/localize/init` would run the
side-effect.
The solution is to have a Bazel sub-package at `//packages/localize/src/localize`
which contains these types and the `$localize` function implementation.
The primary `//packages/localize` entry-point imports the types without
any side-effect.
The secondary `//packages/localize/init` entry-point imports the `$localize`
function and attaches it to the global scope as a side-effect, without
bringing with it all the other utility functions.
BREAKING CHANGES:
The entry-points have changed:
* To attach the `$localize` function to the global scope import from
`@angular/localize/init`. Previously it was `@angular/localize`.
* To access the `loadTranslations()` and `clearTranslations()` functions,
import from `@angular/localize`. Previously it was `@angular/localize/run_time`.

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).

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.

The `aio` commit message scope was renamed to `docs-infra` (which is
more descriptive) in #24295. Although it has been removed from the
documentation, the legacy `aio` scope was kept in the [list of valid
scopes][1] to cater for in-flight PRs that already used it. As a result,
it still shows up as a recommended, valid scope in the error message
shown when commit message validation fails during `git commit`. This is
misleading, especially for new contributors.
Since we have been "manually" discouraging people from using `aio`,
there should be no open PRs by now (and if there are, they should be
changed to `docs-infra`), so it is safe to remove it from the list of

In VE the `Sanitizer` is always available in `BrowserModule` because the VE retrieves it using injection.
In Ivy the injection is optional and we have instructions instead of component definition arrays. The implication of this is that in Ivy the instructions can pull in the sanitizer only when they are working with a property which is known to be unsafe. Because the Injection is optional this works even if no Sanitizer is present. So in Ivy we first use the sanitizer which is pulled in by the instruction, unless one is available through the `Injector` then we use that one instead.
This PR does few things:
1) It makes `Sanitizer` optional in Ivy.
2) It makes `DomSanitizer` tree shakable.
3) It aligns the semantics of Ivy `Sanitizer` with that of the Ivy sanitization rules.
4) It refactors `DomSanitizer` to use same functions as Ivy sanitization for consistency.

In Angular today, the following pattern works:
```typescript
export class BaseDir {
constructor(@Inject(ViewContainerRef) protected vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({
selector: '[child]',
})
export class ChildDir extends BaseDir {
// constructor inherited from BaseDir
}
```
A decorated child class can inherit a constructor from an undecorated base
class, so long as the base class has metadata of its own (for JIT mode).
This pattern works regardless of metadata in AOT.
In Angular Ivy, this pattern does not work: without the @Directive
annotation identifying the base class as a directive, information about its
constructor parameters will not be captured by the Ivy compiler. This is a
result of Ivy's locality principle, which is the basis behind a number of
compilation optimizations.
As a solution, @Directive() without a selector will be interpreted as a
"directive base class" annotation. Such a directive cannot be declared in an
NgModule, but can be inherited from. To implement this, a few changes are
made to the ngc compiler:
* the error for a selector-less directive is now generated when an NgModule
declaring it is processed, not when the directive itself is processed.
* selector-less directives are not tracked along with other directives in
the compiler, preventing other errors (like their absence in an NgModule)
from being generated from them.

Previously, `validate-commit-message` would treat `fixup! `-prefixed
commits like this:
- It would strip the `fixup! ` prefix.
- It would validate the rest of the commit message header as any other
commit.
However, fixup commits are special in that they need to exactly match an
earlier commit message header (sans the `fixup! ` prefix) in order for
git to treat them correctly. Otherwise, they will not be squashed into
the original commits and will be merged as is. Fixup commits can end up
not matching their original commit for several reasons (e.g. accidental
typo, changing the original commit message, etc.).
This commit prevents invalid fixup commits to pass validation by
ensuring that they match an earlier (unmerged) commit (i.e. a commit
between the current HEAD and the BASE commit).
NOTE: This new behavior is currently not activated in the pre-commit git
hook, that is used to validate commit messages (because the
preceding, unmerged commits are not available there). It _is_
activated in `gulp validate-commit-message`, which is run as part
of the `lint` job on CI and thus will detect invalid commits,
before their getting merged.

Currently developers can use the `By` class to construct common
`DebugElement` query predicates. e.g. `By.directive(MyDirective)`.
The `directive()` and `all()` predicates are currently returning
a predicate that works for `DebugElement` nodes. This return type
is too strict since the predicate is not specific to `DebugElement`
instances and can also apply to `DebugNode` instances.
Meaning that developers are currently able to use the `directive()`
predicate when using `queryAllNodes()`. This is a common practice
but will break when the project is compiled with TypeScript's
`--strictFunctionTypes` flag as the `DebugElement` predicate type

Currently we reuse the same instruction both for regular property bindings and property bindings on the `host`. The only difference between the two is that when it's on the host we shouldn't support inputs. We have an optional parameter called `nativeOnly` which is used to differentiate the two, however since `nativeOnly` is preceeded by another optional parameter (`sanitizer`), we have to generate two extra parameters for each host property bindings every time (e.g. `property('someProp', 'someValue', null, true)`).
These changes add a new instruction called `hostProperty` which avoids the need for the two parameters by removing `nativeOnly` which is always set and it allows us to omit `sanitizer` when it isn't being used.
These changes also remove the `nativeOnly` parameter from the `updateSyntheticHostBinding` instruction, because it's only generated for host elements which means that we can assume that its value will always be `true`.
