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.

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.

The `computeStaticStyling` will be used for computing static styling value during `firstCreatePass`.
The function takes into account static styling from the template as well as from the host bindings. The host bindings need to be merged in front of the template so that they have the correct priority.

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.

Occasionally a factory function needs to be generated for an "invalid"
constructor (one with parameters types which aren't injectable). Typically
this happens in JIT mode where understanding of parameters cannot be done in
the same "up-front" way that the AOT compiler can.
This commit changes the JIT compiler to generate a new `invalidFactoryDep`
call for each invalid parameter. This instruction will error at runtime if
called, indicating both the index of the invalid parameter as well as (via
the stack trace) the factory function which was generated for the type being
constructed.

Originally, QueryList implemented Iterable and provided a Symbol.iterator
on its prototype. This caused issues with tree-shaking, so QueryList was
refactored and the Symbol.iterator added in its constructor instead. As
part of this change, QueryList no longer implemented Iterable directly.
Unfortunately, this meant that QueryList was no longer assignable to
Iterable or, consequently, NgIterable. NgIterable is used for NgFor's input,
so this meant that QueryList was not usable (in a type sense) for NgFor
iteration. View Engine's template type checking would not catch this, but
Ivy's did.
As a fix, this commit adds the declaration (but not the implementation) of
the Symbol.iterator function back to QueryList. This has no runtime effect,
so it doesn't affect tree-shaking of QueryList, but it ensures that
QueryList is assignable to NgIterable and thus usable with NgFor.

Now that we've replaced `ngBaseDef` with an abstract directive definition, there are a lot more cases where we generate a directive definition without a selector. These changes make it so that we don't generate the `selectors` array if it's going to be empty.
PR Close#33431
Removes `ngBaseDef` from the compiler and any runtime code that was still referring to it. In the cases where we'd previously generate a base def we now generate a definition for an abstract directive.
PR Close#33264
For abstract directives, i.e. directives without a selector, it may
happen that their constructor is called explicitly from a subclass,
hence its parameters are not required to be valid for Angular's DI
purposes. Prior to this commit however, having an abstract directive
with a constructor that has parameters that are not eligible for
Angular's DI would produce a compilation error.
A similar scenario may occur for `@Injectable`s, where an explicit
`use*` definition allows for the constructor to be irrelevant. For
example, the situation where `useFactory` is specified allows for the
constructor to be called explicitly with any value, so its constructor
parameters are not required to be valid. For `@Injectable`s this is
handled by generating a DI factory function that throws.
This commit implements the same solution for abstract directives, such
that a compilation error is avoided while still producing an error at
runtime if the type is instantiated implicitly by Angular's DI
mechanism.

This commit adds CopyDefinitionFeature, which supports the case where an
entire decorator (@Component or @Directive) is inherited from parent to
child.
The existing inheritance feature, InheritDefinitionFeature, supports merging
of parent and child definitions when both were originally present. This
merges things like inputs, outputs, host bindings, etc.
CopyDefinitionFeature, on the other hand, compensates for a definition that
was missing entirely on the child class, by copying fields that aren't
ordinarily inherited (like the template function itself).
This feature is intended to only be used as part of ngcc code generation.

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);

Currently the `ngForOf` input accepts `null` or `undefined` as valid
values. Although when using strict template input type checking
(which will be supported by `ngtsc`), passing `null` or `undefined`
with strict null checks enabled causes a type check failure because
the type for the `ngForOf` input becomes too strict if strict null checks
are enabled. The type of the input needs to be expanded to also accept
`null` or `undefined` to behave consistently regardless of the
`strictNullChecks` flag.
This is necessary because whenever strict input type checking is enabled
by default, most of the Angular projects that use `*ngFor` with the async pipe
will either need to disable template type checking or strict null checks
because the `async` pipe returns `null` if the observable hasn't been
emitted yet.
See for example how this affects the `angular/components` repository and
how much bloat the workaround involves: https://github.com/angular/components/pull/16373/files#r296942696.

Reworks the compiler to output the factories for directives, components and pipes under a new static field called `ngFactoryFn`, instead of the usual `factory` property in their respective defs. This should eventually allow us to inject any kind of decorated class (e.g. a pipe).
**Note:** these changes are the first part of the refactor and they don't include injectables. I decided to leave injectables for a follow-up PR, because there's some more cases we need to handle when it comes to their factories. Furthermore, directives, components and pipes make up most of the compiler output tests that need to be refactored and it'll make follow-up PRs easier to review if the tests are cleaned up now.
This is part of the larger refactor for FW-1468.

In VE the `Sanitizer` is always available in `BrowserModule` because the VE retrieves it using injection.
In Ivy the injection is optional and we have instructions instead of component definition arrays. The implication of this is that in Ivy the instructions can pull in the sanitizer only when they are working with a property which is known to be unsafe. Because the Injection is optional this works even if no Sanitizer is present. So in Ivy we first use the sanitizer which is pulled in by the instruction, unless one is available through the `Injector` then we use that one instead.
This PR does few things:
1) It makes `Sanitizer` optional in Ivy.
2) It makes `DomSanitizer` tree shakable.
3) It aligns the semantics of Ivy `Sanitizer` with that of the Ivy sanitization rules.
4) It refactors `DomSanitizer` to use same functions as Ivy sanitization for consistency.

In Angular today, the following pattern works:
```typescript
export class BaseDir {
constructor(@Inject(ViewContainerRef) protected vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({
selector: '[child]',
})
export class ChildDir extends BaseDir {
// constructor inherited from BaseDir
}
```
A decorated child class can inherit a constructor from an undecorated base
class, so long as the base class has metadata of its own (for JIT mode).
This pattern works regardless of metadata in AOT.
In Angular Ivy, this pattern does not work: without the @Directive
annotation identifying the base class as a directive, information about its
constructor parameters will not be captured by the Ivy compiler. This is a
result of Ivy's locality principle, which is the basis behind a number of
compilation optimizations.
As a solution, @Directive() without a selector will be interpreted as a
"directive base class" annotation. Such a directive cannot be declared in an
NgModule, but can be inherited from. To implement this, a few changes are
made to the ngc compiler:
* the error for a selector-less directive is now generated when an NgModule
declaring it is processed, not when the directive itself is processed.
* selector-less directives are not tracked along with other directives in
the compiler, preventing other errors (like their absence in an NgModule)
from being generated from them.
