This is part of a re-factor of template syntax and

into multiple documents. The second phase will be
a rewrite of each doc.
Specifically, this PR does the following:
- Breaks sections of the current template syntax document each into their own page.
- Corrects the links to and from these new pages.
- Adds template syntax subsection to the left side NAV which contains all the new pages.
- Adds the new files to pullapprove.

In #37957, parts of the testing guide were broken out into separate
guides. As part of that work, the `<live-example>` tags were also copied
to the new guides. These `<live-example>` tags did not specify the
targeted example project via the `name` attribute, thus they were
implicitly targeting the example with the same name as the guide they
were in. See the [Docs style guide][1] for more info.
However, there is only one example project (`testing/`) and all
`<live-example>` tags were supposed to target that. This worked fine on
the `testing.md` guide, but it broke on other guides (which tried to
target non-existing example projects based on their names).
This commit fixes it by explicitly specifying which example is targeted
by the `<live-example>` tags. It also removes the `embedded-style`
attribute that has no effect.

In the current version of zone.js, zone.js uses it's own package format, and it is not following the rule
of Angualr package format(APF), so it is not easily to be consumed by Angular CLI or other bundle tools.
For example, zone.js npm package has two bundles,
1. zone.js/dist/zone.js, this is a `es5` bundle.
2. zone.js/dist/zone-evergreen.js, this is a `es2015` bundle.
And Angular CLI has to add some hard-coding code to handle this case, o5376a8b139/packages/schematics/angular/application/files/src/polyfills.ts.template (L55-L58)
This PR upgrade zone.js npm package format to follow APF rule, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CZC2rcpxffTDfRDs6p1cfbmKNLA6x5O-NtkJglDaBVs/edit#heading=h.k0mh3o8u5hx
The updated points are:
1. in package.json, update all bundle related properties
```
"main": "./bundles/zone.umd.js",
"module": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
"es2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
"fesm2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
```
2. re-organize dist folder, for example for `zone.js` bundle, now we have
```
dist/
bundles/
zone.js // this is the es5 bundle
fesm2015/
zone.js // this is the es2015 bundle (in the old version is `zone-evergreen.js`)
```
3. have several sub-packages.
1. `zone-testing`, provide zone-testing bundles include zone.js and testing libraries
2. `zone-node`, provide zone.js implemention for NodeJS
3. `zone-mix`, provide zone.js patches for both Browser and NodeJS
All those sub-packages will have their own `package.json` and the bundle will reference `bundles(es5)` and `fesm2015(es2015)`.
4. keep backward compatibility, still keep the `zone.js/dist` folder, and all bundles will be redirected to `zone.js/bundles` or `zone.js/fesm2015` folders.

The current implementation for redirecting users inside guards was in place
before the feature was added to allow `CanActivate` and `CanActivateChild` guards
to return `UrlTree` for redirecting users.
Returning `UrlTree` should be the default method, as it provides a more desirable
redirecting experience. When using `router.navigate` followed by `return false`,
the `Router` calls `resetUrlToCurrentUrlTree` (in the `finalize` operator) before
processing the navigation to the new route. This can result in an undesirable
history if the navigation was the first navigation in the application - that is,
the route will briefly be reset to just `/` (see #36187).

esm5 and fesm5 are no longer needed and have been deprecated in the past.

This commit modifies ng_package to no longer distribute these two formats in npm packages
built by ng_package (e.g. @angular/core).
This commit intentionally doesn't fully clean up the ng_package rule to remove all traces of esm5 and fems5
build artifacts as that is a bigger cleanup and currently we are narrowing down the scope of this change
to the MVP needed for v10, which in this case is 'do not put esm5 and fesm5' into the npm packages.
More cleanup to follow: https://angular-team.atlassian.net/browse/FW-2143
BREAKING CHANGE: esm5 and fesm5 format is no longer distributed in
Angular's npm packages e.g. @angular/core
If you are not using Angular CLI to build your application or library,
and you need to be able to build es5 artifacts, then you will need to
downlevel the distributed Angular code to es5 on your own.
Angular CLI will automatically downlevel the code to es5 if differential
loading is enabled in the Angular project, so no action is required from
Angular CLI users.

The purpose of the `WrappedValue` is to allow same object instance to be treated as different for the purposes of change detection. It is currently used with `async` pipe and only with `Observables`. The use case which it covers is if the `Observable` produces the same instance of the value but it is desirable to still try to mark it as changed for the purposes of change detection.
We believe tha the above use case is too rare to warrant special handling in the framework. (Having special handling causes application slowdown for the users and mental load for the developers.) No replacement is planned for this deprecation.

In the past, server-side rendered apps needed to convert URLs used in
API requests to absolute when rendering on the server. Originally, this
was handled in the `universal` guide and corresponding example app by
modifying the `HeroService` to use `APP_BASE_HREF` to derive the
absolute URL.
In #28956, the guide was updated to show an improved method: Specifying
an `HttpInterceptor` that took care of converting the URLs to absolute.
That interceptor was only provided when rendering the app on the server.
By mistake, the corresponding example app was not updated along with the
guide.
Since `@nguniversal/*` v7.1.0, it is no longer necessary to convert the
URLs to absolute inside the app. This is handled in the `@nguniversal`
libs (see angular/universal#897).
This commit updates the example app to remove unnecessary code and
modifies the guide to mention the issue with absolute URLs, but explain
that developers only need to worry about it when not using one of the
`@nguniversal/*-engine` packages.

Under View Engine's default (non-fullTemplateTypeCheck) checking, object and
array literals which appear in templates are treated as having type `any`.
This allows a number of patterns which would not otherwise compile, such as
indexing an object literal by a string:
```html
{{ {'a': 1, 'b': 2}[value] }}
```
(where `value` is `string`)
Ivy, meanwhile, has always inferred strong types for object literals, even
in its compatibility mode. This commit fixes the bug, and adds the
`strictLiteralTypes` flag to specifically control this inference. When the
flag is `false` (in compatibility mode), object and array literals receive
the `any` type.

Removes figures elements as AIO is not typically using captions or image groups where figures would be necessary or appropriate
PR Close#33748
This commit removes one of the expected Ivy changes because we have
decided to change the behavior to be more backwards-compatible.
It also adds a bug fix that is technically breaking to the list of
expected changes.
PR Close#33675
Often the types of an `@Input`'s field don't fully reflect the types of
assignable values. This can happen when an input has a getter/setter pair
where the getter always returns a narrow type, and the setter coerces a
wider value down to the narrow type.
For example, you could imagine an input of the form:
```typescript
@Input() get value(): string {
return this._value;
}
set value(v: {toString(): string}) {
this._value = v.toString();
}
```
Here, the getter always returns a `string`, but the setter accepts any value
that can be `toString()`'d, and coerces it to a string.
Unfortunately TypeScript does not actually support this syntax, and so
Angular users are forced to type their setters as narrowly as the getters,
even though at runtime the coercion works just fine.
To support these kinds of patterns (e.g. as used by Material), this commit
adds a compiler feature called "input coercion". When a binding is made to
the 'value' input of a directive like MatInput, the compiler will look for a
static field with the name ngAcceptInputType_value. If such a field is found
the type-checking expression for the input will use the static field's type
instead of the type for the @Input field,allowing for the expression of a
type conversion between the binding expression and the value being written
to the input's field.
To solve the case above, for example, MatInput might write:
```typescript
class MatInput {
// rest of the directive...
static ngAcceptInputType_value: {toString(): string};
}
```
