In the Angular Package Format, we always shipped UMD bundles and previously even ES5 module output.
With V10, we removed the ES5 module output but kept the UMD ES5 output.
For this, we were able to remove our second TypeScript transpilation. Instead we started only
building ES2015 output and then downleveled it to ES5 UMD for the NPM packages. This worked
as expected but unveiled an issue in the `@angular/core` reflection capabilities.
In JIT mode, Angular determines constructor parameters (for DI) using the `ReflectionCapabilities`. The
reflection capabilities basically read runtime metadata of classes to determine the DI parameters. Such
metadata can be either stored in static class properties like `ctorParameters` or within TypeScript's `design:params`.
If Angular comes across a class that does not have any parameter metadata, it tries to detect if the
given class is actually delegating to an inherited class. It does this naively in JIT by checking if the
stringified class (function in ES5) matches a certain pattern. e.g.
```js
function MatTable() {
var _this = _super.apply(this, arguments) || this;
```
These patterns are reluctant to changes of the class output. If a class is not recognized properly, the
DI parameters will be assumed empty and the class is **incorrectly** constructed without arguments.
This actually happened as part of v10 now. Since we downlevel ES2015 to ES5 (instead of previously
compiling sources directly to ES5), the class output changed slightly so that Angular no longer detects
it. e.g.
```js
var _this = _super.apply(this, __spread(arguments)) || this;
```
This happens because the ES2015 output will receive an auto-generated constructor if the class
defines class properties. This constructor is then already containing an explicit `super` call.
```js
export class MatTable extends CdkTable {
constructor() {
super(...arguments);
this.disabled = true;
}
}
```
If we then downlevel this file to ES5 with `--downlevelIteration`, TypeScript adjusts the `super` call so that
the spread operator is no longer used (not supported in ES5). The resulting super call is different to the
super call that would have been emitted if we would directly transpile to ES5. Ultimately, Angular no
longer detects such classes as having an delegate constructor -> and DI breaks.
We fix this by expanding the rather naive RegExp patterns used for the reflection capabilities
so that downleveled pass-through/delegate constructors are properly detected. There is a risk
of a false-positive as we cannot detect whether `__spread` is actually the TypeScript spread
helper, but given the reflection patterns already make lots of assumptions (e.g. that `super` is
actually the superclass, we should be fine making this assumption too. The false-positive would
not result in a broken app, but rather in unnecessary providers being injected (as a noop).

If one component Parent inherit another component Base like the following:
@Component(...)
class Base {
constructor(@Inject(InjectionToken) injector: Injector) { }
}
@Component(...)
class Parent extends Base {
// no constructor
}
When creating Component Parent, the dependency injection should work on delegating ctors like above.
The code Parent code above will be compiled into something like:
class Parent extends Base {
constructor() {
super(...arguments);
}
}
The angular core isDelegateCtor function will identify the delegation ctor to the base class.
But when the code above is minified (using terser), the minified code will compress the spaces, resulting in something like:
class Parent extends Base{constructor(){super(...arguments)}}
The regex will stop working, since it wasn't aware of this case. So this fix will allow this to work in minified code cases.

This commit moves the delegated constructor detection to a helper
function and also adds more test coverage.
The original code for this came from https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/24156
thanks to @ts2do.

With these changes, the types are a little stricter now and also not
compatible with Protractor's jasmine-like syntax. So, we have to also
use `@types/jasminewd2` for e2e tests (but not for non-e2e tests).
I also had to "augment" `@types/jasminewd2`, because the latest
typings from [DefinitelyTyped][1] do not reflect the fact that the
`jasminewd2` version (v2.1.0) currently used by Protractor supports
passing a `done` callback to a spec.

All errors for existing fields have been detected and suppressed with a
`!` assertion.
Issue/24571 is tracking proper clean up of those instances.
One-line change required in ivy/compilation.ts, because it appears that
the new syntax causes tsickle emitted node to no longer track their
original sourceFiles.

This is required as e.g. `token` from `@Inject` is
accessed in string form via makeParamDecorator
but as a property in the `ReflectiveInjector`.
Closes#16889 as this is a more general fix.
