Now, one can add an `@alias` tag to API docs, which tells dgeni that this
API element (usually a `const`) is really just an alias for some API element
defined elsewhere.
Dgeni will then look up this API element and copy over the properties from
the alias to the current doc.
For example, we would like to privately export an Enum from `@angular/core`
but then publicly export this from `@angular/common`:
**packages/core/private_exports.ts**
```ts
/**
* Description of this document.
*/
export enum ɵSomeEnum { ... }
```
**packages/common/public_api.ts**
```ts
import {ɵSomeEnum} from '@angular/core';
/**
* @alias core/ɵSomeEnum
*/
export const SomeEnum = ɵSomeEnum;
```
In the generated docs there will be a page for `common/SomeEnum`, which
will be rendered as an enum, rather than a const, showing the description
extracted from the `core/ɵSomeEnum`.
---
The implementation of this feature required some refactoring of the other
processing:
1. Previously `ɵ` prefixed exports were not even considered.
2. Due to 1. some processors needed to have guards added to ignore such
private exports (`addMetadataAliases` and `checkContentRules`).
3. The processing of package pages had to be reworked (and split) so that
it picked up the aliased export docs after their alias proeprties had
been copied.

In some overloads, the parameter type can be a large anonymous
object type.
This change displays such types as `object`. It is then up to the
documentation author to put more information about the type in the
method usage notes.

If the documentation contains a `@selectors` tag then the content of that
is used to describe the selectors of a directive.
Otherwise the selector string is split and each selector is listed as
a list item in an unordered list.
PR Close#25768
All directives and pipes must now be tagged with one ore more
public NgModule, from which they are exported.
If an item is exported transitively via a re-exported internal NgModule
then it may be that the item appears to be exported from more than
one public NgModule. For example, there are shared directives that
are exported in this way from `FormsModule` and `ReactiveFormsModule`.
The doc-gen will error and fail if a directive or pipe is not tagged correctly.
NgModule pages now list all the directives and pipes that are exported from it.
Directive and Pipe pages now list any NgModule from which they are exported.
Packages also now list any NgModules that are contained - previously they were
missed.

In an overloaded method, the overload with the function body is the
actual method doc, and this doc is not included in the list of "additional"
overloads.
Moreover, the logic (all in dgeni-packages) is that if none of the items
has a body then we use the first overload as the actual method doc.
In the case of abstract methods, none of the methods have a body. So we
have a situation where the overloads collection does not contain the first
abstract method, even though it is not the "implementation" of the method.
Therefore we need to still render it.

This change adds Github edit and view links to methods
and decorator options.
It is possible to add these to properties also but the
UI is rather tight as these are displayed in a table.
PR Close#24000
This heading is too high for the section because the
method name is a H3 but it cannot be a H4 because
usage notes may contain H4 headings.
PR Close#24000
The sections such as methods and decorator options are already headed
by a H3 heading so we need to map the H3 headings in the API doc source
down to H4 headings.
This commit includes general heading mapping functionality accessible via
the `marked` Nunjucks filter.

Previously these docs always displayed `any` as the type
of the const export. Now the type is computed correctly from
the declared type or initializer of the constant.
