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.

When debugging `LView`s it is easy to get lost since all of them have
the same name. This change does three things:
1. It makes `TView` have an explicit type:
- `Host`: for the top level `TView` for bootstrap
- `Component`: for the `TView` which represents components template
- `Embedded`: for the `TView` which represents an embedded template
2. It changes the name of `LView` to `LHostView`, `LComponentView`, and
`LEmbeddedView` depending on the `TView` type.
3. For `LComponentView` and `LEmbeddedView` we also append the name of
of the `context` constructor. The result is that we have `LView`s which
are name as: `LComponentView_MyComponent` and `LEmbeddedView_NgIfContext`.
The above changes will make it easier to understand the structure of the
application when debugging.
NOTE: All of these are behind `ngDevMode` and will get removed in
production application.

Factory defs are not considered public API, so the property

APIs directly.
This commit adds the prefix and shortens the name from

cannot be minified by Uglify without turning on property
mangling (which most apps have turned off) and are thus

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);
}
});
```
A couple of cases that this PR doesn't handle:
* Template references are still in a separate array.
* i18n attributes are still in a separate array.

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.

After a series of recent refactorings `enterView` and `leaveView` became
identical. This PR merges both into one concept of view selectio (similar
to a node selection). This reduces number of concepts and code size.
PR Close#32263
The Angular runtime frequently calls into user code (for example, when
writing to a property binding). Since user code can throw errors, calls to
it are frequently wrapped in a try-finally block. In Ivy, the following
pattern is common:
```typescript
enterView();
try {
callUserCode();
} finally {
leaveView();
}
```
This has a significant problem, however: `leaveView` has a side effect: it
calls any pending lifecycle hooks that might've been scheduled during the
current round of change detection. Generally it's a bad idea to run
lifecycle hooks after the application has crashed. The application is in an
inconsistent state - directives may not be instantiated fully, queries may
not be resolved, bindings may not have been applied, etc. Invariants that
the app code relies upon may not hold. Further crashes or broken behavior
are likely.
Frequently, lifecycle hooks are used to make assertions about these
invariants. When these assertions fail, they will throw and "swallow" the
original error, making debugging of the problem much more difficult.
This commit modifies `leaveView` to understand whether the application is
currently crashing, via a parameter `safeToRunHooks`. This parameter is set
by modifying the above pattern:
```typescript
enterView();
let safeToRunHooks = false;
try {
callUserCode();
safeToRunHooks = true;
} finally {
leaveView(..., safeToRunHooks);
}
```
If `callUserCode` crashes, then `safeToRunHooks` will never be set to `true`
and `leaveView` won't call any further user code. The original error will
then propagate back up the stack and be reported correctly. A test is added
to verify this behavior.

The content projection mechanism is static, in that it only looks at the static
template nodes before directives are matched and change detection is run.
When you have a selector-based content projection the selection is based
on nodes that are available in the template.
For example:
```
<ng-content selector="[some-attr]"></ng-content>
```
would match
```
<div some-attr="..."></div>
```
If you have an inline-template in your projected nodes. For example:
```
<div *ngIf="..." some-attr="..."></div>
```
This gets pre-parsed and converted to a canonical form.
For example:
```
<ng-template [ngIf]="...">
<div some-attr=".."></div>
</ng-template>
```
Note that only structural attributes (e.g. `*ngIf`) stay with the `<ng-template>`
node. The other attributes move to the contained element inside the template.
When this happens in ivy, the ng-template content is removed
from the component template function and is compiled into its own
template function. But this means that the information about the
attributes that were on the content are lost and the projection
selection mechanism is unable to match the original
`<div *ngIf="..." some-attr>`.
This commit adds support for this in ivy. Attributes are separated into three
groups (Bindings, Templates and "other"). For inline-templates the Bindings
and "other" types are hoisted back from the contained node to the `template()`
instruction, so that they can be used in content projection matching.

For efficiency reasons we often put several different data types (`RNode`, `LView`, `LContainer`,
`StylingContext`) in same location in `LView`. This is because we don't want to pre-allocate
space
for it because the storage is sparse. This file contains utilities for dealing with such data
types.
How do we know what is stored at a given location in `LView`.
- `Array.isArray(value) === false` => `RNode` (The normal storage value)
- `Array.isArray(value) === true` => than the `value[0]` represents the wrapped value.
- `typeof value[TYPE] === 'object'` => `LView`
- This happens when we have a component at a given location
- `typeof value[TYPE] === 'number'` => `StylingContext`
- This happens when we have style/class binding at a given location.
- `typeof value[TYPE] === true` => `LContainer`
- This happens when we have `LContainer` binding at a given location.
NOTE: it is assumed that `Array.isArray` and `typeof` operations are very efficient.

Accounts for schemas in when validating properties in Ivy.
This PR resolves FW-819.
A couple of notes:
* I had to rework the test slightly, in order to have it fail when we expect it to. The one in master is passing since Ivy's validation runs during the update phase, rather than creation.
* I had to deviate from the design in FW-819 and not add an `enableSchema` instruction, because the schema is part of the `NgModule` scope, however the scope is only assigned to a component once all of the module's declarations have been resolved and some of them can be async. Instead, I opted to have the `schemas` on the component definition.

Prior to this change, we were unable to match directives using `ng-template` tags (for example the following selector would not work even though there might be some <ng-template>s in a template: `ng-template[directiveA]`. As a result, that broke some components that relies on such selectors to work. In order to resolve the problem, we now pass tag name to the `template` instruction (where we passed `null` before) and this tag name is used for matching at runtime. This update should also help support projecting containers, because the tag name is required to properly match such elements.

In Angular, it used to be an accepted practice to use strings as dependency
injection tokens. E.g. {provide: 'test', useValue: 'provided'}. However,
the Ivy node injection system did not support this. The Ivy DI system
attempts to patch a Bloom bit index onto each type registered with it, and
this patch operation does not work for a string token.
This commit adds string token support to the bloom filter system by
reserving bit 0 for string tokens. This eliminates the need for each string
token to store its own Bloom bit, at the expense of slightly more expensive
lookups of string tokens.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The public API for `DebugNode` was accidentally too broad. This change removes
1. Public constructor. Since `DebugNode` is a way for Angular to communicate information
on to the developer there is no reason why the developer should ever need to
Instantiate the `DebugNode`
2. We are also removing `removeChild`, `addChild`, `insertBefore`, and `insertChildAfter`.
All of these methods are used by Angular to constructor the correct `DebugNode` tree.
There is no reason why the developer should ever be constructing a `DebugNode` tree
And these methods should have never been made public.
3. All properties have been change to `readonly` since `DebugNode` is used by Angular
to communicate to developer and there is no reason why these APIs should be writable.
While technically breaking change we don’t expect anyone to be effected by this change.
