Previously, the compiler was not able to display template parsing errors as
true `ts.Diagnostic`s that point inside the template. Instead, it would
throw an actual `Error`, and "crash" with a stack trace containing the
template errors.
Not only is this a poor user experience, but it causes the Language Service
to also crash as the user is editing a template (in actuality the LS has to
work around this bug).
With this commit, such parsing errors are converted to true template
diagnostics with appropriate span information to be displayed contextually
along with all other diagnostics. This majorly improves the user experience
and unblocks the Language Service from having to deal with the compiler
"crashing" to report errors.

Previously, the `sourceSpan` and `startSourceSpan` were the same
object, which meant that you had the following situation:
```
element = <div>some content</div>
sourceSpan = <div>
startSourceSpan = <div>
endSourceSpan = </div>
```
This made `sourceSpan` redundant and meant that if you
wanted a span for the whole element including its content
and closing tag, it had to be computed.
Now `sourceSpan` is separated from `startSourceSpan`
resulting in:
```
element = <div>some content</div>
sourceSpan = <div>some content</div>
startSourceSpan = <div>
endSourceSpan = </div>
```

Prior to this change, the unary + and - operators would be parsed as `x - 0`
and `0 - x` respectively. The runtime semantics of these expressions are
equivalent, however they may introduce inaccurate template type checking
errors as the literal type is lost, for example:
```ts
@Component({
template: `<button [disabled]="isAdjacent(-1)"></button>`
})
export class Example {
isAdjacent(direction: -1 | 1): boolean { return false; }
}
```
would incorrectly report a type-check error:
> error TS2345: Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to parameter
of type '-1 | 1'.
Additionally, the translated expression for the unary + operator would be
considered as arithmetic expression with an incompatible left-hand side:
> error TS2362: The left-hand side of an arithmetic operation must be of
type 'any', 'number', 'bigint' or an enum type.
To resolve this issues, the implicit transformation should be avoided.
This commit adds a new unary AST node to represent these expressions,
allowing for more accurate type-checking.

Within an angular template, when a character entity is unable to be parsed, previously a generic
unexpected character error was thrown. This does not properly express the issue that was discovered
as the issue is actually caused by the discovered character making the whole of the entity unparsable.
The compiler will now instead inform via the error message what string was attempted to be parsed
and what it was attempted to be parsed as.
Example, for this template:
```
<p>
ģp
</p>
```
Before this change:
`Unexpected character "p"`
After this change:
`Unable to parse entity "ģp" - hexadecimal character reference entities must end with ";"`

This commit fixes a bug in View Engine whereby the compiler errorneously
thinks that a method of a component has decorator metadata when that
method is one of those in `Object.prototype`, for example `toString`.
This bug is discovered in v10.0.4 of `@angular/language-service` after
the default bundle format was switched from ES5 to ES2015.
ES5 output:
```js
if (propMetadata[propName]) {
decorators.push.apply(decorators, __spread(propMetadata[propName]));
}
```
ES2015 output:
```js
if (propMetadata[propName]) {
decorators.push(...propMetadata[propName]);
}
```
The bug was not discovered in ES5 because the polyfill for the spread
operator happily accepts parameters that do not have the `iterable`
symbol:
```js
function __spread() {
for (var ar = [], i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++)
ar = ar.concat(__read(arguments[i]));
return ar;
}
```
whereas in es2015 it’ll fail since the iterable symbol is not present in
`propMetadata['toString']` which evaluates to a function.

HTML is very lenient when it comes to closing elements, so Angular's parser has
rules that specify which elements are implicitly closed when closing a tag.
The parser keeps track of the nesting of tag names using a stack and parsing
a closing tag will pop as many elements off the stack as possible, provided
that the elements can be implicitly closed.
For example, consider the following templates:
- `<div><br></div>`, the `<br>` is implicitly closed when parsing `</div>`,
because `<br>` is a void element.
- `<div><p></div>`, the `<p>` is implicitly closed when parsing `</div>`,
as `<p>` is allowed to be closed by the closing of its parent element.
- `<ul><li>A <li>B</ul>`, the first `<li>` is implicitly closed when parsing
the second `<li>`, whereas the second `<li>` would be implicitly closed when
parsing the `</ul>`.
In all the cases above the parsed structure would be correct, however the source
span of the closing `</div>` would incorrectly be assigned to the element that
is implicitly closed. The problem was that closing an element would associate
the source span with the element at the top of the stack, however this may not
be the element that is actually being closed if some elements would be
implicitly closed.
This commit fixes the issue by assigning the end source span with the element
on the stack that is actually being closed. Any implicitly closed elements that
are popped off the stack will not be assigned an end source span, as the
implicit closing implies that no ending element is present.
Note that there is a difference between self-closed elements such as `<input/>`
and implicitly closed elements such as `<input>`. The former does have an end
source span (identical to its start source span) whereas the latter does not.

In past versions of the View Engine compiler, we added a warning that is
printed whenever the compiler comes across an Angular declaration with a
constructor that does not match suitable DI tokens. The warning mentioned
that in `v6.x` it will turn into an actual error.
This actually happened as expected for most cases. e.g. the constructor
of `@NgModule`, `@Component`'s, `@Pipe`'s etc will be checked and an error
will be reported if constructor is not DI compatible.
The warning has never been removed though as it was still relevant for
unprovided injectables, or injectables serialized into summaries of the
Angular compiler.
As of version 10, classes that use Angular features need an Angular decorator.
This includes base classes of services that use the lifecycles Angular feature.
Due to this being a common pattern now, we can remove the warning in
View Engine. The warning is not correct, and also quite confusing as it
mentions the planned removal in `v6.x`.

The html parser already normalizes line endings (converting `\r\n` to `\n`)
for most text in templates but it was missing the expressions of ICU expansions.
In ViewEngine backticked literal strings, used to define inline templates,
were already normalized by the TypeScript parser.
In Ivy we are parsing the raw text of the source file directly so the line
endings need to be manually normalized.
This change ensures that inline templates have the line endings of ICU
expression normalized correctly, which matches the ViewEngine.
In ViewEngine external templates, defined in HTML files, the behavior was
different, since TypeScript was not normalizing the line endings.
Specifically, ICU expansion "expressions" are not being normalized.
This is a problem because it means that i18n message ids can be different on
different machines that are setup with different line ending handling,
or if the developer moves a template from inline to external or vice versa.
The goal is always to normalize line endings, whether inline or external.
But this would be a breaking change since it would change i18n message ids
that have been previously computed. Therefore this commit aligns the ivy
template parsing to have the same "buggy" behavior for external templates.
There is now a compiler option `i18nNormalizeLineEndingsInICUs`, which
if set to `true` will ensure the correct non-buggy behavior. For the time
being this option defaults to `false` to ensure backward compatibility while
allowing opt-in to the desired behavior. This option's default will be
flipped in a future breaking change release.
Further, when this option is set to `false`, any ICU expression tokens,
which have not been normalized, are added to the `ParseResult` from the
`HtmlParser.parse()` method. In the future, this collection of tokens could
be used to diagnose and encourage developers to migrate their i18n message
ids. See FW-2106.

This is because the corresponding output AST for the array is of the form

The [ICU spec](http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/messages) is pretty vague:

To create the symbols of a module, the static symbol resolver first gets
all the symbols loaded in the module by an export statement. For `export
* from './module'`-like statements, all symbols from `./module` must be
loaded. In cases where the exporting module is actually the same module
that the export statement is in, this causes an unbounded recursive
resolution of the same module.
Exports of the same module are not needed, as their symbols will be
resolved when the symbols in the module metadata's `metadata` key is
explored.
This commit resolves the unbounded recursion by loading exporting
modules only if they differ from the module currently being resolved.

This commit removes the `NullAstVisitor` and `visitAstChildren` exported
from `packages/compiler/src/expression_parser/ast.ts` because they
contain duplicate and buggy implementation, and their use cases could be
sufficiently covered by `RecursiveAstVisitor` if the latter implements the
`visit` method. This use case is only needed in the language service.
With this change, any visitor that extends `RecursiveAstVisitor` could
just define their own `visit` function and the parent class will behave
correctly.
A bit of historical context:
In language service, we need a way to tranverse the expression AST in a
selective manner based on where the user's cursor is. This means we need a
"filtering" function to decide which node to visit and which node to not
visit. Instead of refactoring `RecursiveAstVisitor` to support this,
`visitAstChildren` was created. `visitAstChildren` duplicates the
implementation of `RecursiveAstVisitor`, but introduced some bugs along
the way. For example, in `visitKeyedWrite`, it visits
```
obj -> key -> obj
```
instead of
```
obj -> key -> value
```
Moreover, because of the following line
```
visitor.visit && visitor.visit(ast, context) || ast.visit(visitor, context);
```
`visitAstChildren` visits every node *twice*.

are not parsed as bindings, and fall through as regular attributes. In
some cases, this can lead to a runtime error; trying to assign `#` as a

not a valid attribute name.

NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

In the past, only the starting index of an expression Token has been
recorded, so a parser could demarkate the span of a token only by the
start locations of two tokens. This may lead to trailing whitespace
being included in the token span:
```html
{{ token1 + token2 }}
^^^^^^^^^ recorded span of `token1`
```
It's also not enough for a parser to determine the end of a token by
adding the length of the token value to the token's start location,
because lexed expression values may not exactly reflect the source code.
For example, `"d\\"e"` is lexed as a string token whose value is `d"e`.
Instead, this commit adds a `end` field to expression tokens. `end`
is one past the last index of the token source code. This will enable a
parser to determine the span of a token just by looking at that token.
This is a breaking change because the contructor interface of `Token`
has changed.
