Currently the `static-query` and `template-var-assignment` schematic only runs
for `8.0.0` which does not include any betas or release candidates. We want to
run the schematic in the beta's and RC in order to get early feedback about the
schematics. Enabling it promptly with V8 stable release can result in accidental
breakages that we would like to fix/identify before.

Introduces a new update schematic called "template-var-assignment"
that is responsible for analyzing template files in order to warn
developers if template variables are assigned to values.
The schematic also comes with a driver for `tslint` so that the
check can be used wtihin Google.
PR Close#29608
Introduces an update schematic for the "@angular/core" package
that automatically migrates pre-V8 "ViewChild" and "ContentChild"
queries to the new explicit timing syntax. This is not required
yet, but with Ivy, queries will be "dynamic" by default. Therefore
specifying an explicit query timing ensures that developers can
smoothly migrate to Ivy (once it's the default).
