This change changes the priority order of static styling.
Current priority:
```
(least priority)
- Static
- Component
- Directives
- Template
- Dynamic Binding
- Component
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Directives
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Template
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
(highest priority)
```
The issue with the above priority is this use case:
```
<div style="color: red;" directive-which-sets-color-blue>
```
In the above case the directive will win and the resulting color will be `blue`. However a small change of adding interpolation to the example like so. (Style interpolation is coming in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/34202)
```
<div style="color: red; width: {{exp}}px" directive-which-sets-color-blue>
```
Changes the priority from static binding to interpolated binding which means now the resulting color is `red`. It is very surprising that adding an unrelated interpolation and style can change the `color` which was not changed. To fix that we need to make sure that the static values are associated with priority of the source (directive or template) where they were declared. The new resulting priority is:
```
(least priority)
- Component
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Directives
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
- Template
- Static
- Map/Interpolation
- Property
(highest priority)

Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.
PR Close#34804
NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

This refactorings clearly separates the first and subsequent creation execution
of the `template` instruction. This approach has the following benefits:
- it is clear what happens during the first vs. subsequent executions;
- we can avoid several memory reads and checks after the first creation pass
(there is measurable performance improvement on various benchmarks);
- the template instructions becomes smaller and should become a candidate
for optimisations / inlining faster;

The `ngInjectableDef` property was renamed to `ɵprov`, but core must
still support both because there are published libraries that use the
older term.
We are only interested in such properties that are defined directly on
the type being injected, not on base classes. So there is a check that
the defintion is specifically for the given type.
Previously if you tried to inject a class that had `ngInjectableDef` but
also inherited `ɵprov` then the check would fail on the `ɵprov` property
and never even try the `ngInjectableDef` property resulting in a failed
injection.
This commit fixes this by attempting to find each of the properties
independently.

Most of the use of `document` in the framework is within
the DI so they just inject the `DOCUMENT` token and are done.
Ivy is special because it does not rely upon the DI and must
get hold of the document some other way. There are a limited
number of places relevant to ivy that currently consume a global
document object.
The solution is modelled on the `LOCALE_ID` approach, which has
`getLocaleId()` and `setLocaleId()` top-level functions for ivy (see
`core/src/render3/i18n.ts`). In the rest of Angular (i.e. using DI) the
`LOCALE_ID` token has a provider that also calls setLocaleId() to
ensure that ivy has the same value.
This commit defines `getDocument()` and `setDocument() `top-level
functions for ivy. Wherever ivy needs the global `document`, it calls
`getDocument()` instead. Each of the platforms (e.g. Browser, Server,
WebWorker) have providers for `DOCUMENT`. In each of those providers
they also call `setDocument()` accordingly.

When debugging `LView`s it is easy to get lost since all of them have
the same name. This change does three things:
1. It makes `TView` have an explicit type:
- `Host`: for the top level `TView` for bootstrap
- `Component`: for the `TView` which represents components template
- `Embedded`: for the `TView` which represents an embedded template
2. It changes the name of `LView` to `LHostView`, `LComponentView`, and
`LEmbeddedView` depending on the `TView` type.
3. For `LComponentView` and `LEmbeddedView` we also append the name of
of the `context` constructor. The result is that we have `LView`s which
are name as: `LComponentView_MyComponent` and `LEmbeddedView_NgIfContext`.
The above changes will make it easier to understand the structure of the
application when debugging.
NOTE: All of these are behind `ngDevMode` and will get removed in
production application.

Before this change instantiating multiple directives on the same
host node would result in repeated RNode retrieval and patching.
This commint re-organises code around directive instance creation
so the host node processing (common to all directives) happens
once and only once.
As the additional benefit the directive instantiation logic gets
centralised in one function (at the expense of patching logic
duplication for root node).

`bindingIndex` stores the current location of the bindings in the
template function. Because it used to be stored in `LView` that `LView`
was not reentrant. This could happen if a binding was a getter and had
a side-effect of calling `detectChanges()`.
By moving the `bindingIndex` to `LFrame` where all of the global state
is kept in reentrant way we correct the issue.

This patch ensures that the `[style]` and `[class]` based bindings
are directly applied to an element's style and className attributes.
This patch optimizes the algorithm so that it...
- Doesn't construct an update an instance of `StylingMapArray` for
`[style]` and `[class]` bindings
- Doesn't apply `[style]` and `[class]` based entries using
`classList` and `style` (direct attributes are used instead)
- Doesn't split or iterate over all string-based tokens in a
string value obtained from a `[class]` binding.
This patch speeds up the following cases:
- `<div [class]>` and `<div class="..." [class]>`
- `<div [style]>` and `<div style="..." [style]>`
The overall speec increase is by over 5x.

Until now, the template type checker has not checked any of the event
bindings that could be present on an element, for example
```
<my-cmp
(changed)="handleChange($event)"
(click)="handleClick($event)"></my-cmp>
```
has two event bindings: the `change` event corresponding with an
`@Output()` on the `my-cmp` component and the `click` DOM event.
This commit adds functionality to the template type checker in order to
type check both kind of event bindings. This means that the correctness
of the bindings expressions, as well as the type of the `$event`
variable will now be taken into account during template type checking.

a property on an object.
Slower:

let count = 0;
function increment() {
count++;

Faster:
````
const state = {
count: 0
};
function increment() {

Prior to this commit, all `className` inputs were not set because the runtime code assumed that the `classMap` instruction is only generated for `[class]` bindings. However the `[className]` binding also produces the same `classMap`, thus the code needs to distinguish between `class` and `className`. This commit adds extra logic to select the right input name and also throws an error in case `[class]` and `[className]` bindings are used on the same element simultaneously.

Injectable defs are not considered public API, so the property
that contains them should be prefixed with Angular's marker
for "private" ('ɵ') to discourage apps from relying on def
APIs directly.
This commit adds the prefix and shortens the name from
ngInjectableDef to "prov" (for "provider", since injector defs
are known as "inj"). This is because property names cannot
be minified by Uglify without turning on property mangling
(which most apps have turned off) and are thus size-sensitive.

Prior to this fix, whenever a style or class binding is present, the
binding application process would require an instance of `TStylingContext`
to be built regardless of whether or not any binding resolution is needed
(just so that it knows whether or not there are any collisions).
This check is, however, unnecessary because if (and only if) there
are directives present on the element then are collisions possible.
This patch removes the need for style/class bindings to register
themselves on to a `TStylingContext` if there are no directives and
present on an element. This means that all map and prop-based
style/class bindings are applied as soon as bindings are updated on
an element.

Currently Ivy stores the element attributes into an array above the component def and passes it into the relevant instructions, however the problem is that upon minification the array will get a unique name which won't compress very well. These changes move the attributes array into the component def and pass in the index into the instructions instead.
Before:
```
const _c0 = ['foo', 'bar'];
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', _c0);
}
});
```
After:
```
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
consts: [['foo', 'bar']],
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', 0);
}
});
```
A couple of cases that this PR doesn't handle:
* Template references are still in a separate array.
* i18n attributes are still in a separate array.

Prior to this patch, each time `advance()` would run (or when a
templateFn or hostBindings code exits) then the core change detection
code would check to see whether the styling data needs to be reset. This
patch removes that functionality and places everything inside of the
scheduled styling exit function. This means that each time one or more
styling bindings run (even if the value hasn't changed) then an exit
function will be scheduled and that will do all the cleanup.
