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.

In Ivy, a pure call to `setClassMetadata` is inserted to retain the
information that would otherwise be lost while eliding the Angular
decorators. In the past, the Angular constructor decorators were
wrapped inside of an anonymous function which was only evaluated once
`ReflectionCapabilities` was requested for such metadata. This approach
prevents forward references from inside the constructor parameter
decorators from being evaluated before they are available.
In the `setClassMetadata` call, the constructor parameters were not wrapped
within an anonymous function, such that forward references were evaluated
too early, causing runtime errors.
This commit changes the `setClassMetadata` call to pass the constructor
parameter decorators inside of an anonymous function again, such that
forward references are not resolved until requested by
`ReflectionCapabilities`, therefore avoiding the early reads of forward refs.

Currently the `ViewRef.destroy` method assumes that its index inside the view container will always be valid, however if it has been removed already, it'll be -1 which will throw an error.
The error manifested itself in one of the unit tests where a view had been detached during the test and then `TestBed` attempted to destroy its `ComponentRef` which ended threw an `Error during cleanup of component`.

Since Renderer is shared across root and child views, we need to avoid `destroy` method invocation for child views and only invoke is for root view when needed. Prior to this change, the `destroy` function was called whenever child view was destroyed, thus causing errors at runtime.

Previously in Ivy, host bindings did not work if they shared a public name
with an Input because they used the `elementProperty` instruction as is.
This instruction was originally built for inside component templates, so it
would either set a directive input OR a native property. This is the
correct behavior for inside a template, but for host bindings, we always
want the native properties to be set regardless of the presence of an Input.
This change adds an extra argument to `elementProperty` so we can tell it to
ignore directive inputs and only set native properties (if it is in the
context of a host binding).

In `ViewRef.detectChanges`, we are passing `ViewRef.context` into `detectChanges` to trigger change detection. This only makes sense for component `ViewRefs` (i.e. injected `ChangeDetectorRefs`) because with embedded views, `context` is not a component instance where the view has been monkey-patched. It's a just a normal object, so the view will be undefined.
In order to resolve this problem, we now invoke `detectChangesInternal` and also pass `LView` (to make sure we always have a view available).

Prior to this change, animation properties were defined as element attributes, which caused errors at runtime. Now all animation-related attributes are defined as element properties.
Also as a part of this update, we start to account for bindings used in animations, which was previously missing.

Prior to this change, the number of host vars stored for directives with `hostBindings` in expando block was incorrect for inherited directives (in case both parent and child directive have `hostBindings` defined). Now if we identify that we already added a `hostBinding` into expando block, we just increase the corresponding number of host binding vars

In Angular, it used to be an accepted practice to use strings as dependency
injection tokens. E.g. {provide: 'test', useValue: 'provided'}. However,
the Ivy node injection system did not support this. The Ivy DI system
attempts to patch a Bloom bit index onto each type registered with it, and
this patch operation does not work for a string token.
This commit adds string token support to the bloom filter system by
reserving bit 0 for string tokens. This eliminates the need for each string
token to store its own Bloom bit, at the expense of slightly more expensive
lookups of string tokens.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The public API for `DebugNode` was accidentally too broad. This change removes
1. Public constructor. Since `DebugNode` is a way for Angular to communicate information
on to the developer there is no reason why the developer should ever need to
Instantiate the `DebugNode`
2. We are also removing `removeChild`, `addChild`, `insertBefore`, and `insertChildAfter`.
All of these methods are used by Angular to constructor the correct `DebugNode` tree.
There is no reason why the developer should ever be constructing a `DebugNode` tree
And these methods should have never been made public.
3. All properties have been change to `readonly` since `DebugNode` is used by Angular
to communicate to developer and there is no reason why these APIs should be writable.
While technically breaking change we don’t expect anyone to be effected by this change.
