Previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail and it should not be the thing which determines
how often change event should fire.
This change introduces a new `emitDistinctChangesOnly` option for
`ContentChildren` and `ViewChildren`.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option will become the default in the future
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}
```

This allows the code generation to correspond with a type, which is
helpful for documentation and discoverability purposes. This does not
offer any type-safety with respect to the actually generated code.

The partial compiler will add a version number to the objects that are
generated so that the linker can select the appropriate partial linker
class to process the metadata.
Previously this version matching was a simple number check. Now
the partial compilation writes the current Angular compiler version
into the generated metadata, and semantic version ranges are used
to select the appropriate partial linker.

This commit is a precursor to supporting the partial compilation of
components, which leverages some of the compilation infrastructure that
is in place for directives.
PR Close#39707
This commit implements partial code generation for directives, which
will be transformed by the linker plugin to fully AOT compiled code in
follow-up work.
