This commit introduces the setClassMetadata() private function, which
adds metadata to a type in a way that can be accessed via Angular's
ReflectionCapabilities. Currently, it writes to static fields as if
the metadata being added was downleveled from decorators by tsickle.
The plan is for ngtsc to emit code which calls this function, passing
metadata on to the runtime for testing purposes. Calls to this function
would then be tree-shaken away for production bundles.
Testing strategy: proper operation of this function will be an integral
part of TestBed metadata overriding. Angular core tests will fail if this
is broken.

Previously in Ivy, metadata for directives/components/modules/etc was
carried in .d.ts files inside type information encoded on the
DirectiveDef, ComponentDef, NgModuleDef, etc types of Ivy definition
fields. This works well, but has the side effect of complicating Ivy's
runtime code as these extra generic type parameters had to be specified
as <any> throughout the codebase. *DefInternal types were introduced
previously to mitigate this issue, but that's the wrong way to solve
the problem.
This commit returns *Def types to their original form, with no metadata
attached. Instead, new *DefWithMeta types are introduced that alias the
plain definition types and add extra generic parameters. This way the
only code that needs to deal with the extra metadata parameters is the
compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata
is transparent to the runtime, as it should be.

Provides a runtime and compile time switch for ivy including
`ApplicationRef.bootstrapModule`.
This is done by naming the symbols such that `ngcc` (angular
Compatibility compiler) can rename symbols in such a way that running
`ngcc` command will switch the `@angular/core` module from `legacy` to
`ivy` mode.
This is done as follows:
```
const someToken__PRE_NGCC__ = ‘legacy mode’;
const someToken__POST_NGCC__ = ‘ivy mode’;
export someSymbol = someToken__PRE_NGCC__;
```
The `ngcc` will search for any token which ends with `__PRE_NGCC__`
and replace it with `__POST_NGCC__`. This allows the `@angular/core`
package to be rewritten to ivy mode post `ngcc` execution.

This commit creates an API for factory functions which allows them
to be inherited from one another. To do so, it differentiates between
the factory function as a wrapper for a constructor and the factory
function in ngInjectableDefs which is determined by a default
provider.
The new form is:
factory: (t?) => new (t || SomeType)(inject(Dep1), inject(Dep2))
The 't' parameter allows for constructor inheritance. A subclass with
no declared constructor inherits its constructor from the superclass.
With the 't' parameter, a subclass can call the superclass' factory
function and use it to create an instance of the subclass.
For @Injectables with configured providers, the factory function is
of the form:
factory: (t?) => t ? constructorInject(t) : provider();
where constructorInject(t) creates an instance of 't' using the
naturally declared constructor of the type, and where provider()
creates an instance of the base type using the special declared
provider on @Injectable.

Previously, some of the *Def symbols were not exported or were exported
as public API. This commit ensures every definition type is in the
private export namespace.

- Adds InheritanceDefinitionFeature to ivy
- Ensures that lifecycle hooks are inherited from super classes whether they are defined as directives or not
- Directives cannot inherit from Components
- Components can inherit from Directives or Components
- Ensures that Inputs, Outputs, and Host Bindings are inherited
- Ensures that super class Features are run

This change supports compilation of components, directives, and modules
within ngtsc. Support is not complete, but is enough to compile and test
//packages/core/test/bundling/todo in full AOT mode. Code size benefits
are not yet achieved as //packages/core itself does not get compiled, and
some decorators (e.g. @Input) are not stripped, leading to unwanted code
being retained by the tree-shaker. This will be improved in future commits.
PR Close#24427
In ngIvy directives matching (determining which directives are active based
on a CSS seletor) happens at runtime. This means that runtime needs to have
enough context to match directives. This PR takes care of cases where a directive's
selector should match bindings (ex. [foo]="exp") and event handlers (ex. (out)="do()").
In the mentioned cases we need to have binding / output "attributes" for directive's
CSS selector matching purposes. At the same time those are not regular attributes and
as such should not be reflected in the DOM.
