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};
}
```

PR#28396 originally addressed an update via issue #23983 to make images more visible with a white background (implementation of gray "lightbox").
This PR implements those styles defined in PR#28396.

In the example, there's no directive nor input that's named `appHighlightColor`.
It should be `appHighlight`, referring to the input binding.

This commit adds a guide to AIO navigation for
"Migrating to Version 9" and moves the schematics
section into the guide that previously lived in
the deprecations page. It also pastes a snippet
of the deprecations page in the new guide so users
don't have to filter out deprecations they've seen
before.
Note: Ivy compatibility section is coming up in a
follow-up PR.

The error message has been updated in #33199 to mention `ng add @angular/localize`.
This also fixes the tslint config (it needs to mention the complete side effect import).

With Ivy the `entryComponents` array isn't necessary anymore. These changes mark it as deprecated so that it can be removed in a future version.

BREAKING CHANGE:
In v5, we deprecated support for the intl API in order to improve the browser support. We are now removing these deprecated APIs for v9. See the original change here for more info on why: #18284.
