Previously, using a pipe in an input binding on an ng-template would
evaluate the pipe in the context of node that was processed before the
template. This caused the retrieval of e.g. ChangeDetectorRef to be
incorrect, resulting in one of the following bugs depending on the
template's structure:
1. If the template was at the root of a view, the previously processed
node would be the component's host node outside of the current view.
Accessing that node in the context of the current view results in a crash.
2. For templates not at the root, the ChangeDetectorRef injected into the
pipe would correspond with the previously processed node. If that node
hosts a component, the ChangeDetectorRef would not correspond with the
view that the ng-template is part of.
The solution to the above problem is two-fold:
1. Template compilation is adjusted such that the template instruction
is emitted before any instructions produced by input bindings, such as
pipes. This ensures that pipes are evaluated in the context of the
template's container node.
2. A ChangeDetectorRef can be requested for container nodes.

Previously, there could be identical template/listener function names
for a component's template, if it had multiple similarly structured
nested sub-templates or listeners.
This resulted in build errors:
`Identifier '<SOME_IDENTIFIER>' has already been declared`
This commit fixes this by ensuring that the template index is included
in the `contextName` passed to the `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`
responsible for processing nested sub-templates.
Similarly, the template or element index is included in the listener
names.

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.

To match the View Engine behavior.
We should make this configurable so that the node injector is tree shaken when
directives do not need to be published.

Previously the compiler compliance tests ran and built test code with
real dependencies on @angular/core and @angular/common. This meant that
any changes to the compiler would result in long rebuild processes
for tests to rerun.
This change removes those dependencies and causes test code to be built
against the fake_core stub of @angular/core that the ngtsc tests use.
This change also removes the dependency on @angular/common entirely, as
locality means it's possible to reference *ngIf without needing to link
to an implementation.

Before this change bound properties would not be used when matching directives
at runtime.
That is `<ng-template [ngIf]=cond>...</ng-template>` would not trigger the
`ngIf` directive.

This commit moves the compiler compliance tests into compiler-cli,
and uses ngtsc to run them instead of the custom compilation
pipeline used before. Testing against ngtsc allows for validation
of the real compiler output.
This commit also fixes a few small issues that prevented the tests
from passing.
