One of the compiler's tasks is to enumerate the exports of a given ES
module. This can happen for example to resolve `foo.bar` where `foo` is a
namespace import:
```typescript
import * as foo from './foo';
@NgModule({
directives: [foo.DIRECTIVES],
})
```
In this case, the compiler must enumerate the exports of `foo.ts` in order
to evaluate the expression `foo.DIRECTIVES`.
When this operation occurs under ngcc, it must deal with the different
module formats and types of exports that occur. In commonjs code, a problem
arises when certain exports are downleveled.
```typescript
export const DIRECTIVES = [
FooDir,
BarDir,
];
```
can be downleveled to:
```javascript
exports.DIRECTIVES = [
FooDir,
BarDir,
```
Previously, ngtsc and ngcc expected that any export would have an associated
`ts.Declaration` node. `export class`, `export function`, etc. all retain
`ts.Declaration`s even when downleveled. But the `export const` construct
above does not. Therefore, ngcc would not detect `DIRECTIVES` as an export
of `foo.ts`, and the evaluation of `foo.DIRECTIVES` would therefore fail.
To solve this problem, the core concept of an exported `Declaration`
according to the `ReflectionHost` API is split into a `ConcreteDeclaration`
which has a `ts.Declaration`, and an `InlineDeclaration` which instead has
a `ts.Expression`. Differentiating between these allows ngcc to return an
`InlineDeclaration` for `DIRECTIVES` and correctly keep track of this
export.

An identifier may become repeated when bundling multiple source files
into a single bundle, so bundlers have a strategy of suffixing non-unique
identifiers with a suffix like $2. Since ngcc operates on such bundles,
it needs to process potentially suffixed identifiers in their canonical
form without the suffix. The "ngx-pagination" package was previously not
compiled fully, as most decorators were not recognized.
This commit ensures that identifiers are first canonicalized by removing
the suffix, such that they are properly recognized and processed by ngcc.

Any decorator information present in TypeScript is emitted into the
generated JavaScript sources by means of `__decorate` call. This call
contains both the decorators as they existed in the original source
code, together with calls to `tslib` helpers that convey additional
information on e.g. type information and parameter decorators. These
different kinds of decorator calls were not previously distinguished on
their own, but instead all treated as `Decorator` by themselves. The
"decorators" that were actually `tslib` helper calls were conveniently
filtered out because they were not imported from `@angular/core`, a
characteristic that ngcc uses to drop certain decorators.
Note that this posed an inconsistency in ngcc when it processes
`@angular/core`'s UMD bundle, as the `tslib` helper functions have been
inlined in said bundle. Because of the inlining, the `tslib` helpers
appear to be from `@angular/core`, so ngcc would fail to drop those
apparent "decorators". This inconsistency does not currently cause any
issues, as ngtsc is specifically looking for decorators based on their
name and any remaining decorators are simply ignored.
This commit rewrites the decorator analysis of a class to occur all in a
single phase, instead of all throughout the `ReflectionHost`. This
allows to categorize the various decorate calls in a single sweep,
instead of constantly needing to filter out undesired decorate calls on
the go. As an added benefit, the computed decorator information is now
cached per class, such that subsequent reflection queries that need
decorator information can reuse the cached info.

To improve cross platform support, all file access (and path manipulation)
is now done through a well known interface (`FileSystem`).
For testing a number of `MockFileSystem` implementations are provided.
These provide an in-memory file-system which emulates operating systems
like OS/X, Unix and Windows.
The current file system is always available via the static method,
`FileSystem.getFileSystem()`. This is also used by a number of static
methods on `AbsoluteFsPath` and `PathSegment`, to avoid having to pass
`FileSystem` objects around all the time. The result of this is that one
must be careful to ensure that the file-system has been initialized before
using any of these static methods. To prevent this happening accidentally
the current file system always starts out as an instance of `InvalidFileSystem`,
which will throw an error if any of its methods are called.
You can set the current file-system by calling `FileSystem.setFileSystem()`.
During testing you can call the helper function `initMockFileSystem(os)`
which takes a string name of the OS to emulate, and will also monkey-patch
aspects of the TypeScript library to ensure that TS is also using the
current file-system.
Finally there is the `NgtscCompilerHost` to be used for any TypeScript
compilation, which uses a given file-system.
All tests that interact with the file-system should be tested against each
of the mock file-systems. A series of helpers have been provided to support
such tests:
* `runInEachFileSystem()` - wrap your tests in this helper to run all the
wrapped tests in each of the mock file-systems.
* `addTestFilesToFileSystem()` - use this to add files and their contents
to the mock file system for testing.
* `loadTestFilesFromDisk()` - use this to load a mirror image of files on
disk into the in-memory mock file-system.
* `loadFakeCore()` - use this to load a fake version of `@angular/core`
into the mock file-system.
All ngcc and ngtsc source and tests now use this virtual file-system setup.

Packages that have been compiled using an older version of TypeScript
can have their decorators at the top-level of the ES5 bundles, instead
of inside the IIFE that is emitted for the class. Before this change,
ngcc only took static property assignments inside the IIFE into account,
therefore missing the decorators that were assigned at the top-level.
This commit extends the ES5 host to look for static properties in two
places. Testcases for all bundle formats that contain ES5 have been added
to ensure that this works in the various flavours.
A patch is included to support UMD bundles. The UMD factory affects how
TypeScripts binds the static properties to symbols, see the docblock of
the patch function for more details.

Currently undecorated classes are intentionally not processed
with ngcc. This is causing unexpected behavior because decorator
handlers such as `base_def.ts` are specifically interested in class
definitions without top-level decorators, so that the base definition
can be generated if there are Angular-specific class members.
In order to ensure that undecorated base-classes work as expected
with Ivy, we need to run the decorator handlers for all top-level
class declarations (not only for those with decorators). This is similar
to when `ngtsc` runs decorator handlers when analyzing source-files.

The usage of array spread syntax in source code may be downleveled to a
call to TypeScript's `__spread` helper function from `tslib`, depending
on the options `downlevelIteration` and `emitHelpers`. This proves
problematic for ngcc when it is processing ES5 formats, as the static
evaluator won't be able to interpret those calls.
A custom foreign function resolver is not sufficient in this case, as
`tslib` may be emitted into the library code itself. In that case, a
helper function can be resolved to an actual function with body, such
that it won't be considered as foreign function. Instead, a reflection
host can now indicate that the definition of a function corresponds with
a certain TypeScript helper, such that it becomes statically evaluable
in ngtsc.

In ES2015, classes could have been emitted as a variable declaration
initialized with a class expression. In certain situations, an intermediary
variable suffixed with `_1` is present such that the variable
declaration's initializer becomes a binary expression with its rhs being
the class expression, and its lhs being the identifier of the intermediate
variable. This structure was not recognized, resulting in such classes not
being considered as a class in `Esm2015ReflectionHost`.
As a consequence, the analysis of functions/methods that return a
`ModuleWithProviders` object did not take the methods of such classes into
account.
Another edge-case with such intermediate variable was that static
properties would not be considered as class members. A testcase was added
to prevent regressions.

Previously, several `ngtsc` and `ngcc` APIs dealing with class
declaration nodes used inconsistent types. For example, some methods of
the `DecoratorHandler` interface expected a `ts.Declaration` argument,
but actual `DecoratorHandler` implementations specified a stricter
`ts.ClassDeclaration` type.
As a result, the stricter methods would operate under the incorrect
assumption that their arguments were of type `ts.ClassDeclaration`,
while the actual arguments might be of different types (e.g. `ngcc`
would call them with `ts.FunctionDeclaration` or
`ts.VariableDeclaration` arguments, when compiling ES5 code).
Additionally, since we need those class declarations to be referenced in
other parts of the program, `ngtsc`/`ngcc` had to either repeatedly
check for `ts.isIdentifier(node.name)` or assume there was a `name`
identifier and use `node.name!`. While this assumption happens to be
true in the current implementation, working around type-checking is
error-prone (e.g. the assumption might stop being true in the future).
This commit fixes this by introducing a new type to be used for such
class declarations (`ts.Declaration & {name: ts.Identifier}`) and using
it consistently throughput the code.

In ESM5 code, static methods appear as property assignments onto the constructor
function. For example:
```
var MyClass = (function() {
function MyClass () {}
MyClass.staticMethod = function() {};
return MyClass;
})();
```
This commit teaches ngcc how to process these forms when searching
for `ModuleWithProviders` functions that need to be updated in the typings
files.
