Packages that have been compiled using an older version of TypeScript
can have their decorators at the top-level of the ES5 bundles, instead
of inside the IIFE that is emitted for the class. Before this change,
ngcc only took static property assignments inside the IIFE into account,
therefore missing the decorators that were assigned at the top-level.
This commit extends the ES5 host to look for static properties in two
places. Testcases for all bundle formats that contain ES5 have been added
to ensure that this works in the various flavours.
A patch is included to support UMD bundles. The UMD factory affects how
TypeScripts binds the static properties to symbols, see the docblock of
the patch function for more details.

Currently undecorated classes are intentionally not processed
with ngcc. This is causing unexpected behavior because decorator
handlers such as `base_def.ts` are specifically interested in class
definitions without top-level decorators, so that the base definition
can be generated if there are Angular-specific class members.
In order to ensure that undecorated base-classes work as expected
with Ivy, we need to run the decorator handlers for all top-level
class declarations (not only for those with decorators). This is similar
to when `ngtsc` runs decorator handlers when analyzing source-files.

The usage of array spread syntax in source code may be downleveled to a
call to TypeScript's `__spread` helper function from `tslib`, depending
on the options `downlevelIteration` and `emitHelpers`. This proves
problematic for ngcc when it is processing ES5 formats, as the static
evaluator won't be able to interpret those calls.
A custom foreign function resolver is not sufficient in this case, as
`tslib` may be emitted into the library code itself. In that case, a
helper function can be resolved to an actual function with body, such
that it won't be considered as foreign function. Instead, a reflection
host can now indicate that the definition of a function corresponds with
a certain TypeScript helper, such that it becomes statically evaluable
in ngtsc.
