Previously commit message types were provided as part of the ng-dev config in the repository
using the ng-dev toolset. This change removes this configuration expectation and instead
predefines the valid types for commit messages.
Additionally, with this new unified set of types requirements around providing a scope have
been put in place. Scopes are either required, optional or forbidden for a given commit
type.

This feature will allow us to exclude certain commits from the 100 chars minBodyLength requirement for commit
messages which is hard to satisfy for commits that make trivial changes (e.g. fixing typos in docs or comments).
PR Close#37764
Introduces infrastructure to validate configuration of the ng-dev
command at run time. Allowing for errors to be returned to the
user running the command.
PR Close#37049
Prior to this change we manage a local version of commit message validation
in addition to the commit message validation tool contained in the ng-dev
tooling. By adding the ability to validate a range of commit messages
together, the remaining piece of commit message validation that is in the
local version is replicated.
We use both commands provided by the `ng-dev commit-message` tooling:
- pre-commit-validate: Set to automatically run on an git hook to validate
commits as they are created locally.
- validate-range: Run by CI for every PR, testing that all of the commits
added by the PR are valid when considered together. Ensuring that all
fixups are matched to another commit in the change.
