Previously, the behavior of the `minLength` and `maxLength` validators
caused confusion, as they appeared to work with numeric values but
did not in fact produce consistent results. This commit fixes the issue
by skipping validation altogether when a numeric value is used.
BREAKING CHANGES:
* The `minLength` and `maxLength` validators now verify that a value has
numeric `length` property and invoke validation only if that's the case.
Previously, falsey values without the length property (such as `0` or
`false` values) were triggering validation errors. If your code relies on
the old behavior, you can include other validators such as [min][1] or
[requiredTrue][2] to the list of validators for a particular field.

Previously, it was not clear that the `minLength` and `maxLength` validators
can only be used with objects that contain a `length` property. This commit
clarifies this.

In https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/33058, we removed support
for the `ngForm` selector in the NgForm directive. We deleted most
of the deprecation notices in that PR, but we missed a paragraph
of documentation in the API docs for NgForm.
This commit removes the outdated paragraph that makes it seem like
the selector is still around and deprecated (as opposed to removed),
as it might confuse users.

There is currently a bug in Chrome 80 that makes Array.reduce
not work according to spec. The functionality in forms that
retrieves controls from FormGroups and FormArrays (`form.get`)
relied on Array.reduce, so the Chrome bug broke forms for
many users.
This commit refactors our forms code to rely on Array.forEach
instead of Array.reduce to fix forms while we are waiting
for the Chrome fix to go live.
See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1049982.

we should be documenting when an API is eligible for removal and not when it will be removed.
The actual removal depends on many factors, e.g. if we were able to automate the refactoring to
the recommended API in time or not.

Fixes#34407
PR Close#34497
Both `MinLengthValidator` and `MaxLengthValidator` accepted only string inputs for the length required, which throws with Ivy and `fullTemplateTypeCheck` enabled:
<!-- min = 2 in the component -->
<input [minlength]="min">
with:
Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string | undefined'
This relaxes the accepted type to `string | number` to avoid breakage when developers switch to Ivy and fTTC.

With 5cecd97493 we intended to expand
the input type of the `disabled` input of the `NgModel` directive.
Read more about the reason for this in the actual commit message.
Currently though, the acceptance coercion member does not have any
effect. This is because the acceptance member needs to refer to the
actual input property name, and not to the public input name.
`disabled` corresponds to the `isDisabled` property.
PR Close#34502
NgModel internally coerces any arbitrary value that will assigned
to the `disabled` `@Input` to a boolean. This has been done to
support the common case where developers set the disabled attribute
without a value. For example:
```html
<input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="value" disabled>
```
This worked in View Engine without any errors because inputs were
not strictly checked. In Ivy though, developers can opt-in into
strict template type checking where the attribute would be flagged.
This is because the `NgModel#isDisabled` property type-wise only
accepts a `boolean`. To ensure that the common pattern described
above can still be used, and to reflect the actual runtime behavior,
we should add an acceptance member that makes it work without type
checking errors.
Using a coercion member means that this is not a breaking change.

Removes the deprecated `ngForm` element selector and all of the code related to it.
BREAKING CHANGES:
* `<ngForm></ngForm>` can no longer be used as a selector. Use `<ng-form></ng-form>` instead.

* `FormsModule.withConfig` has been removed. Use the `FormsModule` directly.

As mentioned in the previous commit, the regexp used by
`Validators.email()` is a slightly enhanced version of the
[WHATWG one](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-mail-address).
This commit refactors the regexp (without changing its behavior) to make
it more closely match the format of WHATWG version, so that it is easier
for people to compare it against the WHATWG one and understand the
differences.
The main changes were:
- Changing the order of characters/character classes inside `[...]`;
e.g. `[A-Za-z]` --> `[a-zA-Z]`
- Mark all groups as non-capturing (since we do not use the captured
values); e.g. `(foo)` --> `(?:foo)`
(This could theoretically also have a positive performance impact, but
I suspect JavaScript engines are already optimizing away capturing
groups when they are not used.)
PR Close#32961
Previously, there was no documentation of what `Validators.email()`
expects as a valid e-mail address, making it difficult for people to
determine whether it covers their requirements or not. Even more so that
the used pattern slightly deviates from the
[WHATWG version](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-mail-address).
One's only option was to look at the source code and try to decipher the
regexp pattern.
This commit adds a high-level description of the validator and mentions
its similarity to and differences from the WHATWG version. It also adds
a brief explanation of the regexp's behavior and references for more
information in the source code to provide more context to
maintainers/users trying to understand the implementation in the future.

This commit relaxes the type of the `formControlName` input to accept both a `string` and a `number`.
Currently, when using a `FormArray`, most templates look like:
```
<div formArrayName="tags">
<div *ngFor="let tag of tagsArray.controls; index as i">
<input [formControlName]="i">
</div>
</div>
```
Here `formControlName` receives a number whereas its input type is a string.
This is fine for VE and `fullTemplateTypeCheck`, but not for Ivy which does a more thorough type checking on inputs with `fullTemplateTypeCheck` enabled and throws `Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'`. It is fixable by using `formControlName="{{i}}"` but you have to know the difference between `a="{{b}}"` and `[a]="b"` and change it all over the application codebase. This commit allows the existing code to still type-check.

This PR also changes the name of NgNoValidate` to `ɵNgNoValidate`. This is because `ngcc` requires the node to retain the original name while dts bundler will rename the node is it's only exported using the aliases.
Example typings files:
```ts
declare class NgNoValidate{
}
export {NgNoValidateas ɵNgNoValidate}
```
will be emitted as
```ts
export declare class ɵNgNoValidate {
}

This change helps highlight certain misoptimizations with Closure
compiler. It is also stylistically preferable to consistently use index
access on index sig types.
Roughly, when one sees '.foo' they know it is always checked for typos
in the prop name by the type system (unless 'any'), while "['foo']" is
always not.
Once all angular repos are conforming this will become a tsetse.info
check, enforced by bazel.

BREAKING CHANGE
Previous to this change, when a control was reset, value and status change
events would be emitted before the control was reset to pristine. As a
result, if one were to check a control's pristine state in a valueChange
listener, it would appear that the control was still dirty after reset.
This change delays emission of value and status change events until after
controls have been marked pristine. This means the pristine state will be
reset as expected if one checks in a listener.
Theoretically, there could be applications depending on checking whether a
control *used to be dirty*, so this is marked as breaking. In these cases,
apps should cache the state on the app side before calling reset.

@angular/forms declares several directives and a module which are not
exported from the package via the entrypoint, either intentionally or as a
historical accident.
Ivy's locality principle necessitates that directives used in user code be
importable from the package which defines them. This requires these forms
directives to be exported.
Several directives which define ControlValueAccessors are exported:
* NumberValueAccessor
* RangeValueAccessor
A few more directives and a module are exported privately (with a ɵ prefix):
* NgNoValidate
* NgSelectMultipleOption
* InternalFormsSharedModule
