Prior to this commit, while calculating the scope for a module, Ivy compiler processed `declarations` field first and `imports` after that. That results in a couple issues:
* for Pipes with the same `name` and present in `declarations` and in an imported module, Pipe from imported module was selected. In View Engine the logic is opposite: Pipes from `declarations` field receive higher priority.
* for Directives with the same selector and present in `declarations` and in an imported module, we first invoked the logic of a Directive from `declarations` field and after that - imported Directive logic. In View Engine, it was the opposite and the logic of a Directive from the `declarations` field was invoked last.
In order to align Ivy and View Engine behavior, this commit updates the logic in which we populate module scope: we first process all imports and after that handle `declarations` field. As a result, in Ivy both use-cases listed above work similar to View Engine.

Currently, when Angular code is built with Bazel and with Ivy, generated
factory shims (.ngfactory files) are not processed via the majority of
tsickle's transforms. This is a subtle effect of the build infrastructure,
but it boils down to a TsickleHost method `shouldSkipTsickleProcessing`.
For ngc_wrapped builds (Bazel + Angular), this method is defined in the
`@bazel/typescript` (aka bazel rules_typescript) implementation of
`CompilerHost`. The default behavior is to skip tsickle processing for files
which are not present in the original `srcs[]` of the build rule. In
Angular's case, this includes all generated shim files.
For View Engine factories this is probably desirable as they're quite
complex and they've never been tested with tsickle. Ivy factories however
are smaller and very straightforward, and it makes sense to treat them like
any other output.
This commit adjusts two independent implementations of
`shouldSkipTsickleProcessing` to enable transformation of Ivy shims:
* in `@angular/bazel` aka ngc_wrapped, the upstream `@bazel/typescript`
`CompilerHost` is patched to treat .ngfactory files the same as their
original source file, with respect to tsickle processing.
It is currently not possible to test this change as we don't have any test
that inspects tsickle output with bazel. It will be extensively tested in
g3.
* in `ngc`, Angular's own implementation is adjusted to allow for the
processing of shims when compiling with Ivy. This enables a unit test to
be written to validate the correct behavior of tsickle when given a host
that's appropriately configured to process factory shims.
For ngtsc-as-a-plugin, a similar fix will need to be submitted upstream in
tsc_wrapped.

When the `NgIf` directive is used in a template, its context variables
can be used to capture the bound value. This is typically used together
with a pipe or function call, where the resulting value is captured in a
context variable. There's two syntax forms available:
1. Binding to `NgIfContext.ngIf` using the `as` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="(user$ | async) as user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
2. Binding to `NgIfContext.$implicit` using the `let` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="user$ | async; let user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
Because of the semantics of `ngIf`, it is known that the captured
context variable is non-nullable, however the template type checker
would not consider them as such and still report errors when
`strictNullTypes` is enabled.
This commit updates `NgIf`'s context guard to make the types of the
context variables non-nullable, avoiding the issue.

For view and content queries, the Ivy compiler attempts to statically
evaluate the predicate token so that string predicates containing
comma-separated reference names can be split into an array of strings
during compilation. When the predicate is a dynamic value that cannot be
statically interpreted at compile time, the compiler would previously
produce an error. This behavior breaks a use-case where an `InjectionToken`
is being used as query predicate, as the usage of the `new` keyword
prevents such predicates from being statically evaluated.
This commit changes the behavior to no longer produce an error for
dynamic values. Instead, the expression is emitted as is into the
generated code, postponing the evaluation to happen at runtime.

It's possible to pass a directive as an input to itself. Consider:
```html
<some-cmp #ref [value]="ref">
```
Since the template type-checker attempts to infer a type for `<some-cmp>`
using the values of its inputs, this creates a circular reference where the
type of the `value` input is used in its own inference:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: _t0});
```
Obviously, this doesn't work. To resolve this, the template type-checker
used to generate a `null!` expression when a reference would otherwise be
circular:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: null!});
```
This effectively asks TypeScript to infer a value for this context, and
works well to resolve this simple cycle. However, if the template
instead tries to use the circular value in a larger expression:
```html
<some-cmp #ref [value]="ref.prop">
```
The checker would generate:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: (null!).prop});
```
In this case, TypeScript can't figure out any way `null!` could have a
`prop` key, and so it infers `never` as the type. `(never).prop` is thus a
type error.
This commit implements a better fallback pattern for circular references to
directive types like this. Instead of generating a `null!` in place for the
reference, a type is inferred by calling the type constructor again with
`null!` as its input. This infers the widest possible type for the directive
which is then used to break the cycle:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor(null!);
var _t1 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: _t0.prop});
```
This has the desired effect of validating that `.prop` is legal for the
directive type (the type of `#ref`) while also avoiding a cycle.

Prior to this commit, decorator handling logic in Ngtsc used `Error` to throw errors. This commit replaces most of these instances with `FatalDiagnosticError` class, which provider a better diagnostics error (including location of the problematic code).
PR Close#35244
In Ivy's template type checker, event bindings are checked in a closure
to allow for accurate type inference of the `$event` parameter. Because
of the closure, any narrowing effects of template guards will no longer
be in effect when checking the event binding, as TypeScript assumes that
the guard outside of the closure may no longer be true once the closure
is invoked. For more information on TypeScript's Control Flow Analysis,
please refer to https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/9998.
In Angular templates, it is known that an event binding can only be
executed when the view it occurs in is currently rendered, hence the
corresponding template guard is known to hold during the invocation of
an event handler closure. As such, it is desirable that any narrowing
effects from template guards are still in effect within the event
handler closure.
This commit tweaks the generated Type-Check Block (TCB) to repeat all
template guards within an event handler closure. This achieves the
narrowing effect of the guards even within the closure.

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.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

Previously, NgtscProgram lived in the main @angular/compiler-cli package
alongside the legacy View Engine compiler. As a result, the main package
depended on all of the ngtsc internal packages, and a significant portion of
ngtsc logic lived in NgtscProgram.
This commit refactors NgtscProgram and moves the main logic of compilation
into a new 'core' package. The new package defines a new API which enables
implementers of TypeScript compilers (compilers built using the TS API) to
support Angular transpilation as well. It involves a new NgCompiler type
which takes a ts.Program and performs Angular analysis and transformations,
as well as an NgCompilerHost which wraps an input ts.CompilerHost and adds
any extra Angular files.
Together, these two classes are used to implement a new NgtscProgram which
adapts the legacy api.Program interface used by the View Engine compiler
onto operations on the new types. The new NgtscProgram implementation is
significantly smaller and easier to reason about.
The new NgCompilerHost replaces the previous GeneratedShimsHostWrapper which
lived in the 'shims' package.
A new 'resource' package is added to support the HostResourceLoader which
previously lived in the outer compiler package.
As a result of the refactoring, the dependencies of the outer
@angular/compiler-cli package on ngtsc internal packages are significantly
trimmed.
This refactoring was driven by the desire to build a plugin interface to the
compiler so that tsc_wrapped (another consumer of the TS compiler APIs) can
perform Angular transpilation on user request.

This commit fixes a bug in the incremental rebuild engine of ngtsc, where if
a component was removed from its NgModule, it would not be properly
re-emitted.
The bug stemmed from the fact that whether to emit a file was a decision
based purely on the updated dependency graph, which captures the dependency
structure of the rebuild program. This graph has no edge from the component
to its former module (as it was removed, of course), so the compiler
erroneously decides not to emit the component.
The bug here is that the compiler does know, from the previous dependency
graph, that the component file has logically changed, since its previous
dependency (the module file) has changed. This information was not carried
forward into the set of files which need to be emitted, because it was
assumed that the updated dependency graph was a more accurate source of that
information.
With this commit, the set of files which need emit is pre-populated with the
set of logically changed files, to cover edge cases like this.

FileToModuleHost aliasing supports compilation within environments that have
two properties:
1. A `FileToModuleHost` exists which defines canonical module names for any
given TS file.
2. Dependency restrictions exist which prevent the import of arbitrary files
even if such files are within the .d.ts transitive closure of a
compilation ("strictdeps").
In such an environment, generated imports can only go through import paths
which are already present in the user program. The aliasing system supports
the generation and consumption of such imports at runtime.
`FileToModuleHost` aliasing does not emit re-exports in .d.ts files. This
means that it's safe to rely on alias re-exports in generated .js code (they
are guaranteed to exist at runtime) but not in template type-checking code
(since TS will not be able to follow such imports). Therefore, non-aliased
imports should be used in template type-checking code.
This commit adds a `NoAliasing` flag to `ImportFlags` and sets it when
generating imports in template type-checking code. The testing environment
is also patched to support resolution of FileToModuleHost canonical paths
within the template type-checking program, enabling testing of this change.

It's possible to declare multiple inputs for a directive/component which all
map to the same property name. This is usually done in error, as only one of
any bindings to the property will "win".
In the template type-checker, an error was previously being raised as a
result of this ambiguity. Specifically, a type constructor was produced
which required a binding for each field, but only one of the fields had
a value via the binding. TypeScript would (rightfully) error on missing
values for the remaining fields. This ultimately was happening when the
code which generated the default values for "unset" inputs belonging to
directives or pipes used the final mapping from properties to fields as
a source for field names.
Instead, this commit uses the original list of fields to generate unset
input values, which correctly provides values for fields which shared a
property name but didn't receive the final binding.

The compiler has a translation mechanism to convert from an Angular
`Type` to a `ts.TypeNode`, as appropriate. Prior to this change, it
would translate certain Angular expressions into their value equivalent
in TypeScript, instead of the correct type equivalent. This was possible
as the `ExpressionVisitor` interface is not strictly typed, with `any`s
being used for return values.
For example, a literal object was translated into a
`ts.ObjectLiteralExpression`, containing `ts.PropertyAssignment` nodes
as its entries. This has worked without issues as their printed
representation is identical, however it was incorrect from a semantic
point of view. Instead, a `ts.TypeLiteralNode` is created with
`ts.PropertySignature` as its members, which corresponds with the type
declaration of an object literal.

Angular View Engine uses global knowledge to compile the following code:
```typescript
export class Base {
constructor(private vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({...})
export class Dir extends Base {
// constructor inherited from base
}
```
Here, `Dir` extends `Base` and inherits its constructor. To create a `Dir`
the arguments to this inherited constructor must be obtained via dependency
injection. View Engine is able to generate a correct factory for `Dir` to do
this because via metadata it knows the arguments of `Base`'s constructor,
even if `Base` is declared in a different library.
In Ivy, DI is entirely a runtime concept. Currently `Dir` is compiled with
an ngDirectiveDef field that delegates its factory to `getInheritedFactory`.
This looks for some kind of factory function on `Base`, which comes up
empty. This case looks identical to an inheritance chain with no
constructors, which works today in Ivy.
Both of these cases will now become an error in this commit. If a decorated
class inherits from an undecorated base class, a diagnostic is produced
informing the user of the need to either explicitly declare a constructor or
to decorate the base class.

Previously, ngtsc would perform scope analysis (which directives/pipes are
available inside a component's template) and template type-checking of that
template as separate steps. If a component's scope was somehow invalid (e.g.
its NgModule imported something which wasn't another NgModule), the
component was treated as not having a scope. This meant that during template
type-checking, errors would be produced for any invalid expressions/usage of
other components that should have been in the scope.
This commit changes ngtsc to skip template type-checking of a component if
its scope is erroneous (as opposed to not present in the first place). Thus,

Previously, the compiler performed an incremental build by analyzing and
resolving all classes in the program (even unchanged ones) and then using
the dependency graph information to determine which .js files were stale and
needed to be re-emitted. This algorithm produced "correct" rebuilds, but the
cost of re-analyzing the entire program turned out to be higher than
anticipated, especially for component-heavy compilations.
To achieve performant rebuilds, it is necessary to reuse previous analysis
results if possible. Doing this safely requires knowing when prior work is
viable and when it is stale and needs to be re-done.
The new algorithm implemented by this commit is such:
1) Each incremental build starts with knowledge of the last known good
dependency graph and analysis results from the last successful build,
plus of course information about the set of files changed.
2) The previous dependency graph's information is used to determine the
set of source files which have "logically" changed. A source file is
considered logically changed if it or any of its dependencies have
physically changed (on disk) since the last successful compilation. Any
logically unchanged dependencies have their dependency information copied
over to the new dependency graph.
3) During the `TraitCompiler`'s loop to consider all source files in the
program, if a source file is logically unchanged then its previous
analyses are "adopted" (and their 'register' steps are run). If the file
is logically changed, then it is re-analyzed as usual.
4) Then, incremental build proceeds as before, with the new dependency graph
being used to determine the set of files which require re-emitting.
This analysis reuse avoids template parsing operations in many circumstances
and significantly reduces the time it takes ngtsc to rebuild a large
application.
Future work will increase performance even more, by tackling a variety of
other opportunities to reuse or avoid work.

This enables the Ivy compiler to statically determine the NgModule type

code patterns where using `ModuleWithProviders` as return type is

specify static members to allow a wider type for some input:

This allows a binding to the `MatSelect.disabled` input to be of type
boolean or string, whereas the `disabled` property itself is only of
type boolean.

Previously, our incremental build system kept track of the changes between
the current compilation and the previous one, and used its knowledge of
inter-file dependencies to evaluate the impact of each change and emit the
right set of output files.
However, a problem arose if the compiler was not able to extract a
dependency graph successfully. This typically happens if the input program
contains errors. In this case the Angular analysis part of compilation is
never executed.
If a file changed in one of these failed builds, in the next build it
appears unchanged. This means that the compiler "forgets" to emit it!
To fix this problem, the compiler needs to know the set of changes made
_since the last successful build_, not simply since the last invocation.
This commit changes the incremental state system to much more explicitly
pass information from the previous to the next compilation, and in the
