We used to have a separate `directive` instruction for instantiating
directives. However, such an instruction requires that directives
are created in the correct order, which would require that template
compiler would have knowledge of all dependent directives. This
would break template compilation locality principle.
This change only changes the APIs to expected form but does
not change the semantics. The semantics will need to be corrected
in subsequent commits. The semantic change needed is to
resolve the directive instantiation error at runtime based on
injection dependencies.

This PR fixes a circular dependency among those files in Renderer3:
`query` -> `di` -> `instructions` -> `query` -> ...
Looking at the above dependencies the `di` -> `instructions` import is
a problematic one. Previously `di` had an import from `instructions`
since we can known about "current node" only in `instructions`
(and we need "current node" to create node injector instances).
This commit refactors the code in the way that functions in the
`di` file don't depend on any info stored module-global variables
in `instructions`.
