Now, one can add an `@alias` tag to API docs, which tells dgeni that this
API element (usually a `const`) is really just an alias for some API element
defined elsewhere.
Dgeni will then look up this API element and copy over the properties from
the alias to the current doc.
For example, we would like to privately export an Enum from `@angular/core`
but then publicly export this from `@angular/common`:
**packages/core/private_exports.ts**
```ts
/**
* Description of this document.
*/
export enum ɵSomeEnum { ... }
```
**packages/common/public_api.ts**
```ts
import {ɵSomeEnum} from '@angular/core';
/**
* @alias core/ɵSomeEnum
*/
export const SomeEnum = ɵSomeEnum;
```
In the generated docs there will be a page for `common/SomeEnum`, which
will be rendered as an enum, rather than a const, showing the description
extracted from the `core/ɵSomeEnum`.
---
The implementation of this feature required some refactoring of the other
processing:
1. Previously `ɵ` prefixed exports were not even considered.
2. Due to 1. some processors needed to have guards added to ignore such
private exports (`addMetadataAliases` and `checkContentRules`).
3. The processing of package pages had to be reworked (and split) so that
it picked up the aliased export docs after their alias proeprties had
been copied.

Currently our plan is to skip the publish, docgen, and update steps for this package.
During RC, we'll determine if the breaking change is too difficult for users, in which case we might restore the package for another major.

This commit includes the following changes:
* CLI version information is read from the CLI package from which
we read the help files.
* CLI API pages now contain GH links
* line numbers are not shown in GH links, if the doc does not
have a truthy `startingLine` value. This allows us to remove
hard coded checks for `guide` pages
* content pages and CLI api docs no longer have a `startingLine`
* the hard-coded `packages` path segment has been removed from
the templates; instead we now only use the `realProjectRelativePath`.
* the `realProjectRelativePath` has been updated accordingly for API
and CLI API docs.

If the documentation contains a `@selectors` tag then the content of that
is used to describe the selectors of a directive.
Otherwise the selector string is split and each selector is listed as
a list item in an unordered list.

The default dgeni config is to concatenate leading comments in front of API items.
In the case that you have an API item that starts a file with no import statements,
the license comment at the top of the file was being added to the front of the
API item's comment. SInce the license comment includes the `@license` tag
and the API item's comment did not start with `@description` the content of
the API item's comment was being put inside the `@license` tag, and no
description was being extracted from the API item's comment.
This commit updates to a version of dgeni-packages that has a switch to turn off
this concatenation, and then also configures this switch.

All directives and pipes must now be tagged with one ore more
public NgModule, from which they are exported.
If an item is exported transitively via a re-exported internal NgModule
then it may be that the item appears to be exported from more than
one public NgModule. For example, there are shared directives that
are exported in this way from `FormsModule` and `ReactiveFormsModule`.
The doc-gen will error and fail if a directive or pipe is not tagged correctly.
NgModule pages now list all the directives and pipes that are exported from it.
Directive and Pipe pages now list any NgModule from which they are exported.
Packages also now list any NgModules that are contained - previously they were
missed.

Classes that are injectable often have constructors that should not be
called by the application developer. It is the responsibility of the
injector to instantiate the class and the constructor often contains
private implementation details that may need to change.
This commit removes constructors from the docs for API items that are
both:
a) Marked with an injectable decorator (e.g. Injectable, Directive,
Component, Pipe), and
b) Have no constructor description
This second rule allows the developer to override the removal if there
is something useful to say about the constructor.
Note that "normal" classes such as `angimations/HttpHeaders` do not have
their constructor removed, despite (at this time) having no description.

Because we were "ignoring" these tags they were being
rendered as part of the previous tag.
What we really want to do is know about them, so that we
don't break the doc-gen but then ignore them when rendering.

Previously the API list was being generated before the stability had
been computed. This meant that the API list page showed no API docs
when filtering by `stable` stability status.

Previously only the `description` and `usageNotes` were being copied over
from the call-member of the decorator interface. Important properties such
as `shortDescription` were missed.
These are now added and the code has been refactored to make it simpler and
clearer to update which properties get copied as the requirements change.

This change adds:
* an impure badge for Pipes that are marked as `pure: false`
* a pipe specific overview that shows the syntax for using a pipe in a template.
* an "input value" section describing the type of the value that the pipe expects.
* a "pipe params" section describing any additional params that a pipe expects.

We now create npm packages to cover all the public api assertions in tools/public_api_guard.
We no longer depend on ts-api-guardian from npm - it is now stale since the repository was archived.
There is no longer a gulp task to enforce or accept the public API, this is in CircleCI as part of running all bazel test targets.

Now methods in classes and interfaces also compute and render
the short description.

The new version of `dgeni-packages/typescript` no longer strips
out "namespaces" from types, which was part of the problem of
not autolinking correctly to `HttpEventType.Response`.
Another part of the problem was that we did not include `.`
characters when matching potential code blocks for auto-linking,
which precluded properties of enums from being linked.
Finally, members we not being given a `path` property, which is
needed to effectively autolink to them. This is now set in
the `simplifyMemberAnchors` processor.
