Note, this affects the underlying class and should not affect usage.
DEPRECATION:
- the `NgFor` class is now deprecated. Use `NgForOf<T>` instead.
IMPORTANT: Only the `NgFor` class is deprecated, not the `ngFor`
directive. The `*ngFor` and related directives are unaffected by
this change as references to the `NgFor` class generated from
templates will be automatically converted to references to
`NgForOf<T>` without requiring any template modifications.
- `TrackByFn` is now deprecated. Use `TrackByFunction<T>` instead.
Migration:
- Replace direct references to the `NgFor` class to `NgForOf<any>`.
- Replace references to `TrackByFn` to `TrackByFunction<any>`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
A definition of `Iterable<T>` is now required to correctly compile
Angular applications. Support for `Iterable<T>` is not required at
runtime but a type definition `Iterable<T>` must be available.
`NgFor`, and now `NgForOf<T>`, already supports `Iterable<T>` at
runtime. With this change the type definition is updated to reflect
this support.
Migration:
- add "es2015.iterable.ts" to your tsconfig.json "libs" fields.

@angular/language-service now supports using TypeScript 2.1 as the
the TypeScript host. TypeScript 2.1 is now also partially supported
in `ngc` but is not recommended as Tsickle does not yet support 2.1.
Note: This checks the constructors of `@Injectable` classes more strictly.
E.g this will fail now as the constructor argument has no `@Inject` nor is
the type of the argument a DI token.
```
@Injectable()
class MyService {
constructor(dep: string) {}
}
```
Last part of #12787Closes#12787
When compiling libraries, this feature extracts the minimal information
from the directives/pipes/modules of the library into `.ngsummary.json` files,
so that applications that use this library only need to be recompiled
if one of the summary files change, but not on every change
of the libraries (e.g. one of the templates).
Only works if individual codegen for libraries is enabled,
see the `generateCodeForLibraries: false` option.
Closes#12787
Removes `CompileIdentifierMetadata.name` / `.moduleUrl`,
as well as `CompileTypeMetadata.name / moduleUrl` and
`CompileFactoryMetadata.name / moduleUrl`.
