Updates to rules_nodejs 2.2.0. This is the first major release in 7 months and includes a number of features as well
as breaking changes.
Release notes: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/releases/tag/2.0.0
Features of note for angular/angular:
* stdout/stderr/exit code capture; this could be potentially be useful
* TypeScript (ts_project); a simpler tsc rule that ts_library that can be used in the repo where ts_library is too
heavy weight
Breaking changes of note for angular/angular:
* loading custom rules from npm packages: `ts_library` is no longer loaded from `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl`
(which no longer exists) but is now loaded from `@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl`
* with the loading changes above, `load("@npm//:install_bazel_dependencies.bzl", "install_bazel_dependencies")` is
no longer needed in the WORKSPACE which also means that yarn_install does not need to run unless building/testing
a target that depends on @npm. In angular/angular this is a minor improvement as almost everything depends on @npm.
* @angular/bazel package is also updated in this PR to support the new load location; Angular + Bazel users that
require it for ng_package (ng_module is no longer needed in OSS with Angular 10) will need to load from
`@npm//@angular/bazel:index.bzl`. I investigated if it was possible to maintain backward compatability for the old
load location `@npm_angular_bazel` but it is not since the package itself needs to be updated to load from
`@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl` instead of `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl` as it depends on ts_library
internals for ng_module.
* runfiles.resolve will now throw instead of returning undefined to match behavior of node require
Other changes in angular/angular:
* integration/bazel has been updated to use both ng_module and ts_libary with use_angular_plugin=true.
The latter is the recommended way for rules_nodejs users to compile Angular 10 with Ivy. Bazel + Angular ViewEngine is
supported with @angular/bazel <= 9.0.5 and Angular <= 8. There is still Angular ViewEngine example on rules_nodejs
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_view_engine on these older versions but users
that want to update to Angular 10 and are on Bazel must switch to Ivy and at that point ts_library with
use_angular_plugin=true is more performant that ng_module. Angular example in rules_nodejs is configured this way
as well: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular. As an aside, we also have an
example of building Angular 10 with architect() rule directly instead of using ts_library with angular plugin:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_bazel_architect.
NB: ng_module is still required for angular/angular repository as it still builds ViewEngine & @angular/bazel
also provides the ng_package rule. ng_module can be removed in the future if ViewEngine is no longer needed in
angular repo.
* JSModuleInfo provider added to ng_module. this is for forward compat for future rules_nodejs versions.

@josephperrott, this touches `packages/bazel/src/external.bzl` which will make the sync to g3 non-trivial.

This release includes a ts_config runfiles fix so also cleaning up the one line work-around from #31943.
This also updates to upstream rules_webtesting browser repositories load("@io_bazel_rules_webtesting//web/versioned:browsers-0.3.2.bzl", "browser_repositories") to fix a breaking change in the chromedriver distro. This bumps up the version of chromium to the version here: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_webtesting/blob/master/web/versioned/browsers-0.3.2.bzl
PR Close#32151
nodejs rules 0.34.0 now includes protractor_web_test_suite rule (via new @bazel/protractor rule) so we switch to that location for that rule in this PR so that /packages/bazel/src/protractor can be removed in a future PR
this PR also brings in node toolchain support which was released in nodejs rules 0.33.0. this is a prerequisite for RBE for mac & windows users
bazel schematics also updated with the same. @bazel/bazel 0.28.1 npm package includes transitive dep on hide-bazel-files so we're able to remove an explicit dep on that as well.

* fixes prodmode issue in integration/bazel
BREAKING CHANGE:
@bazel/typescript is now a peerDependency of @angular/bazel so user's of @angular/bazel must add @bazel/typescript to their package.json
