The HTML parser gets an element's namespace either from the tag name
(e.g. `<svg:rect>`) or from its parent element `<svg><rect></svg>`) which
breaks down when an element is inside of an SVG `foreignElement`,
because foreign elements allow nodes from a different namespace to be
inserted into an SVG.
These changes add another flag to the tag definitions which tells child
nodes whether to try to inherit their namespaces from their parents.
It also adds a definition for `foreignObject` with the new flag,
allowing elements placed inside it to infer their namespaces instead.
Fixes#37218.

HTML is very lenient when it comes to closing elements, so Angular's parser has
rules that specify which elements are implicitly closed when closing a tag.
The parser keeps track of the nesting of tag names using a stack and parsing
a closing tag will pop as many elements off the stack as possible, provided
that the elements can be implicitly closed.
For example, consider the following templates:
- `<div><br></div>`, the `<br>` is implicitly closed when parsing `</div>`,
because `<br>` is a void element.
- `<div><p></div>`, the `<p>` is implicitly closed when parsing `</div>`,
as `<p>` is allowed to be closed by the closing of its parent element.
- `<ul><li>A <li>B</ul>`, the first `<li>` is implicitly closed when parsing
the second `<li>`, whereas the second `<li>` would be implicitly closed when
parsing the `</ul>`.
In all the cases above the parsed structure would be correct, however the source
span of the closing `</div>` would incorrectly be assigned to the element that
is implicitly closed. The problem was that closing an element would associate
the source span with the element at the top of the stack, however this may not
be the element that is actually being closed if some elements would be
implicitly closed.
This commit fixes the issue by assigning the end source span with the element
on the stack that is actually being closed. Any implicitly closed elements that
are popped off the stack will not be assigned an end source span, as the
implicit closing implies that no ending element is present.
Note that there is a difference between self-closed elements such as `<input/>`
and implicitly closed elements such as `<input>`. The former does have an end
source span (identical to its start source span) whereas the latter does not.

The html parser already normalizes line endings (converting `\r\n` to `\n`)
for most text in templates but it was missing the expressions of ICU expansions.
In ViewEngine backticked literal strings, used to define inline templates,
were already normalized by the TypeScript parser.
In Ivy we are parsing the raw text of the source file directly so the line
endings need to be manually normalized.
This change ensures that inline templates have the line endings of ICU
expression normalized correctly, which matches the ViewEngine.
In ViewEngine external templates, defined in HTML files, the behavior was
different, since TypeScript was not normalizing the line endings.
Specifically, ICU expansion "expressions" are not being normalized.
This is a problem because it means that i18n message ids can be different on
different machines that are setup with different line ending handling,
or if the developer moves a template from inline to external or vice versa.
The goal is always to normalize line endings, whether inline or external.
But this would be a breaking change since it would change i18n message ids
that have been previously computed. Therefore this commit aligns the ivy
template parsing to have the same "buggy" behavior for external templates.
There is now a compiler option `i18nNormalizeLineEndingsInICUs`, which
if set to `true` will ensure the correct non-buggy behavior. For the time
being this option defaults to `false` to ensure backward compatibility while
allowing opt-in to the desired behavior. This option's default will be
flipped in a future breaking change release.
Further, when this option is set to `false`, any ICU expression tokens,
which have not been normalized, are added to the `ParseResult` from the
`HtmlParser.parse()` method. In the future, this collection of tokens could
be used to diagnose and encourage developers to migrate their i18n message
ids. See FW-2106.

Move the creation of the results objects into the wrapper functions.
This makes it easier to reason about what the parser and lexer classes
are responsible for - you create a new object for each tokenization or
parsing activity and they hold the state of the activity.

BREAKING CHANGE:
Certain elements (like `<tr>` or `<col>`) require parent elements to be of a certain type by the HTML specification
(ex. <tr> can only be inside <tbody> / <thead>). Before this change Angular template parser was auto-correcting
"invalid" HTML using the following rules:
- `<tr>` would be wrapped in `<tbody>` if not inside `<tbody>`, `<tfoot>` or `<thead>`;
- `<col>` would be wrapped in `<colgroup>` if not inside `<colgroup>`.
This meachanism of automatic wrapping / auto-correcting was problematic for several reasons:
- it is non-obvious and arbitrary (ex. there are more HTML elements that has rules for parent type);
- it is incorrect for cases where `<tr>` / `<col>` are at the root of a component's content, ex.:
```html
<projecting-tr-inside-tbody>
<tr>...</tr>
</projecting-tr-inside-tbody>
```
In the above example the `<projecting-tr-inside-tbody>` component culd be "surprised" to see additional
`<tbody>` elements inserted by Angular HTML parser.

The parts of a token are supposed to be an array of not-null strings,
but we were using `null` for tags that had no prefix. This has been
fixed to use the empty string in such cases, which allows the `null !`
hack to be removed.

When tokenizing markup (e.g. HTML) element attributes
can have quoted or unquoted values (e.g. `a=b` or `a="b"`).
The `ATTR_VALUE` tokens were capturing the quotes, which
was inconsistent and also affected source-mapping.
Now the tokenizer captures additional `ATTR_QUOTE` tokens,
which the HTML related parsers understand and factor into their
token parsing.

This commit consolidates the options that can modify the
parsing of text (e.g. HTML, Angular templates, CSS, i18n)
into an AST for further processing into a single `options`
hash.
This makes the code cleaner and more readable, but also
enables us to support further options to parsing without
triggering wide ranging changes to code that should not
be affected by these new options. Specifically, it will let
us pass information about the placement of a template
that is being parsed in its containing file, which is essential
for accurate SourceMap processing.

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a
`!` assertion.
Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that
the new syntax causes tsickle emitted node to no longer track their
original sourceFiles.
