There is an encoding issue with using delta `Δ`, where the browser will attempt to detect the file encoding if the character set is not explicitly declared on a `<script/>` tag, and Chrome will find the `Δ` character and decide it is window-1252 encoding, which misinterprets the `Δ` character to be some other character that is not a valid JS identifier character
So back to the frog eyes we go.

The `Δ` caused issue with other infrastructure, and we are temporarily
changing it to `ɵɵ`.
This commit also patches ts_api_guardian_test and AIO to understand `ɵɵ`.

createInjector() is an Ivy-only API that should not have
been exported as part of the public API. This commit removes
the export. It will be re-exported when Ivy is released.

Ivy definition looks something like this:
```
class MyService {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
…
});
}
```
Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an opaque token.
For this reson why declare the return value of `defineInjectable` as `never`.

By prefixing the type with `ɵ` we are communicating the the outside world that

This adds compilation of @NgModule providers and imports into
ngInjectorDef statements in generated code. All @NgModule annotations
will be compiled and the @NgModule decorators removed from the
resultant js output.
All @Injectables will also be compiled in Ivy mode, and the decorator
removed.
