When the Angular compiler is operated through the ngc binary in watch
mode, changing a template in an external file would not cause the
component to be recompiled if Ivy is enabled.
There was a problem with how a cached compiler host was present that was
unaware of the changed resources, therefore failing to trigger a
recompilation of a component whenever its template changes. This commit
fixes the issue by ensuring that information about modified resources is
correctly available to the cached compiler host.

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.

The template type checking abilities of the Ivy compiler are far more
advanced than the level of template type checking that was previously
done for Angular templates. Up until now, a single compiler option
called "fullTemplateTypeCheck" was available to configure the level
of template type checking. However, now that more advanced type checking
is being done, new errors may surface that were previously not reported,
in which case it may not be feasible to fix all new errors at once.
Having only a single option to disable a large number of template type
checking capabilities does not allow for incrementally addressing newly
reported types of errors. As a solution, this commit introduces some new
compiler options to be able to enable/disable certain kinds of template
type checks on a fine-grained basis.

Recently it was made possible to have a directive without selector,
which are referred to as abstract directives. Such directives should not
be registered in an NgModule, but can still contain decorators for
inputs, outputs, queries, etc. The information from these decorators and
the `@Directive()` decorator itself needs to be registered with the
central `MetadataRegistry` so that other areas of the compiler can
request information about a given directive, an example of which is the
template type checker that needs to know about the inputs and outputs of
directives.
Prior to this change, however, abstract directives would only register
themselves with the `MetadataRegistry` as being an abstract directive,
without all of its other metadata like inputs and outputs. This meant
that the template type checker was unable to resolve the inputs and
outputs of these abstract directives, therefore failing to check them
correctly. The typical error would be that some property does not exist
on a DOM element, whereas said property should have been bound to the
abstract directive's input.
This commit fixes the problem by always registering the metadata of a
directive or component with the `MetadataRegistry`. Tests have been
added to ensure abstract directives are handled correctly in the
template type checker, together with tests to verify the form of
abstract directives in declaration files.

Often the types of an `@Input`'s field don't fully reflect the types of
assignable values. This can happen when an input has a getter/setter pair
where the getter always returns a narrow type, and the setter coerces a
wider value down to the narrow type.
For example, you could imagine an input of the form:
```typescript
@Input() get value(): string {
return this._value;
}
set value(v: {toString(): string}) {
this._value = v.toString();
}
```
Here, the getter always returns a `string`, but the setter accepts any value
that can be `toString()`'d, and coerces it to a string.
Unfortunately TypeScript does not actually support this syntax, and so
Angular users are forced to type their setters as narrowly as the getters,
even though at runtime the coercion works just fine.
To support these kinds of patterns (e.g. as used by Material), this commit
adds a compiler feature called "input coercion". When a binding is made to
the 'value' input of a directive like MatInput, the compiler will look for a
static field with the name ngAcceptInputType_value. If such a field is found
the type-checking expression for the input will use the static field's type
instead of the type for the @Input field,allowing for the expression of a
type conversion between the binding expression and the value being written
to the input's field.
To solve the case above, for example, MatInput might write:
```typescript
class MatInput {
// rest of the directive...
static ngAcceptInputType_value: {toString(): string};
}
```

Libraries can expose directive/component base classes that will be
used by consumer applications. Using such a base class from another
compilation unit works fine with "ngtsc", but when using "ngc", the
compiler will thrown an error saying that the base class is not
part of a NgModule. e.g.
```
Cannot determine the module for class X in Y! Add X to the NgModule to fix it.
```
This seems to be because the logic for distinguishing directives from
abstract directives is scoped to the current compilation unit within
ngc. This causes abstract directives from other compilation units to
be considered as actual directives (causing the exception).

This commit refactors the aliasing system to support multiple different
AliasingHost implementations, which control specific aliasing behavior
in ngtsc (see the README.md).
A new host is introduced, the `PrivateExportAliasingHost`. This solves a
longstanding problem in ngtsc regarding support for "monorepo" style private
libraries. These are libraries which are compiled separately from the main
application, and depended upon through TypeScript path mappings. Such
libraries are frequently not in the Angular Package Format and do not have
entrypoints, but rather make use of deep import style module specifiers.
This can cause issues with ngtsc's ability to import a directive given the
module specifier of its NgModule.
For example, if the application uses a directive `Foo` from such a library
`foo`, the user might write:
```typescript
import {FooModule} from 'foo/module';
```
In this case, foo/module.d.ts is path-mapped into the program. Ordinarily
the compiler would see this as an absolute module specifier, and assume that
the `Foo` directive can be imported from the same specifier. For such non-
APF libraries, this assumption fails. Really `Foo` should be imported from
the file which declares it, but there are two problems with this:
1. The compiler would have to reverse the path mapping in order to determine
a path-mapped path to the file (maybe foo/dir.d.ts).
2. There is no guarantee that the file containing the directive is path-
mapped in the program at all.
The compiler would effectively have to "guess" 'foo/dir' as a module
specifier, which may or may not be accurate depending on how the library and
path mapping are set up.
It's strongly desirable that the compiler not break its current invariant
that the module specifier given by the user for the NgModule is always the
module specifier from which directives/pipes are imported. Thus, for any
given NgModule from a particular module specifier, it must always be
possible to import any directives/pipes from the same specifier, no matter
how it's packaged.
To make this possible, when compiling a file containing an NgModule, ngtsc
will automatically add re-exports for any directives/pipes not yet exported
by the user, with a name of the form: ɵngExportɵModuleNameɵDirectiveName
This has several effects:
1. It guarantees anyone depending on the NgModule will be able to import its
directives/pipes from the same specifier.
2. It maintains a stable name for the exported symbol that is safe to depend
on from code on NPM. Effectively, this private exported name will be a
part of the package's .d.ts API, and cannot be changed in a non-breaking
fashion.

Prior to this change, the template type checker would always allow a

if the input's type did not allow for it. This was due to how the type
constructor for a directive was generated, where a `Partial` mapped
type was used to allow for inputs to be unset. This essentially
introduces the `undefined` type as acceptable type for all inputs.
This commit removes the `Partial` type from the type constructor, which

Instead, any properties that are not set will still be included in the
type constructor call, having their value assigned to `any`.

When translating messages generated by the Angular compiler
from i18n tags in templates, the `$localize.translate()` function
will compute message ids, if no custom id is provided, using a
common digest function that only relies upon the information
available in the `$localize()` calls.
This computed message id will not be the same as the message
ids stored in legacy translation files. Such files will need to be
migrated to use the new common digest function.

been calling `loadTranslations()`, and are not exclusively using custom
ids in their templates.

class Service {}
// Output
class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => Service.ngFactoryFn(),
});
static ngFactoryFn: (t) => new (t || Service)();
}

2. For injectables that do configure how they're created, we keep the `ngFactoryDef` and generate the factory based on the metadata:
```
// Source
@Injectable({
useValue: DEFAULT_IMPL,
})
class Service {}
// Output
export class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => DEFAULT_IMPL,

Now that the `$localize` translations are `MessageId` based the
compiler must render `MessageId`s in its generated `$localize` code.
This is because the `MessageId` used by the compiler is computed
from information that does not get passed through to the `$localize`
tagged string.
For example, the generated code for the following template
```html
<div id="static" i18n-title="m|d" title="introduction"></div>
```
will contain these localization statements
```ts
if (ngI18nClosureMode) {
/**
* @desc d
* @meaning m
*/
const MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1 = goog.getMsg("introduction");
I18N_1 = MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1;
}
else {
I18N_1 = $localize \`:m|d@@8809028065680254561:introduction\`;
}
```
Since `$localize` is not able to accurately regenerate the source-message
(and so the `MessageId`) from the generated code, it must rely upon the
`MessageId` being provided explicitly in the generated code.
The compiler now prepends all localized messages with a "metadata block"
containing the id (and the meaning and description if defined).
Note that this metadata block will also allow translation file extraction
from the compiled code - rather than relying on the legacy ViewEngine
extraction code. (This will be implemented post-v9).
Although these metadata blocks add to the initial code size, compile-time
inlining will completely remove these strings and so will not impact on
production bundle size.
