Creates a tool for staging and publishing releases as per the
new branching and versioning that has been outlined in the following
document. The tool is intended to be used across the organization to
ensure consistent branching/versioning and labeling:

The tool implements the actions as outlined in the following
initial plan: https://hackmd.io/2Le8leq0S6G_R5VEVTNK9A.
The implementation slightly diverged in so far that it performs
staging and publishing together so that releasing is a single
convenient command. In case of errors for which re-running the
full command is not sufficient, we want to consider adding
recover functionality. e.g. when the staging completed, but the
actual NPM publishing aborted unexpectedly due to build errors.

Introduces a new command for `ng-dev release`, so that the NPM
dist tag can be set for all configured NPM packages. This command
can be useful in case a manual tag needs to be set, but it is
primarily used by the release tooling when a new stable version
is cut, and when the previous patch branch needs to be set as LTS
version through a `v{major}-lts` dist tag.
It is necessary to have this as a command so that the release tool
can execute it for old branches where other packages might have been
configured. This is similar to the separate `ng-dev build` command
that we created.
Note that we also added logic for spawning a process conveniently
with different "console output" modes. This will be useful for
other command invocations in the release tool and it's generally
better than directly using native `child_process` as that one doesn't
log to the dev-infra debug log file.

Adds a command for building all release packages. This command
is primarily used by the release tool for building release output
in version branches. The release tool cannot build the release packages
configured in `master` as those packages could differ from the
packages available in a given version branch. Also, the build process
could have changed, so we want to have an API for building
release packages that is guaranteed to be consistent across branches.

Moves the existing `ng-dev release env-stamp` command into a
subfolder so that the staging/publish tool can have its own
dedicated folder (without being polluted by the env-stamp logic).
Every subcommand should be in its own folder.

Adds a method for printing active release trains for a configured
project. This is helpful for the release tool that will print
the active release trains. Also this can be useful for the
caretaker status command, where we could print the active
version branches (i.e. "is there currently a feature-freeze branch").
PR Close#38656
Adds logic for determining active LTS branches for a given
release configuration. The active LTS branches can be determined
by querying NPM and matching dist tags against a specific
pattern. i.e. `v{major}-lts`.
This logic will be useful for the release tool that supports
publishing of active LTS version branches.

We initially added logic for determining active release trains into
the merge script. Given we now build more tools that rely on this
information, we move the logic into a more general "versioning" folder
that can contain common logic following the versioning document for the
Angular organization.

Introduces a new configuration for the `ng-dev release` command. This
configuration will be the source of truth for all release packages
and how they can be built.
Additionally, in a temporary manner where each project has its own
way of generating the changelog, the changelog generation can be
configured. This will be removed in the future when there is
canonical changelog generation in the dev-infra shared package.

There is an `exec()` helper provided by `utils/shelljs.ts`, which is a
wrapper around ShellJS' `exec()` with some default options (currently
`silent: true`). The intention is to avoid having to pass these options
to every invocation of the `exec()` function.
This commit updates all code inside `dev-infra/` to use this helper
whenever possible).
NOTE: For simplicity, the `utils/shelljs` helper does not support some
of the less common call signatures of the original `exec()`
helper, so in some cases we still need to use the original.

Migrate the release tool in ng-dev to use new logging system rather
than directly calling console.* to create a better experience
for users.
PR Close#37232
Create a common environment stamping script in the ng-dev tooling
as to be used in common release tasks. This is the first step in
consolidating pieces of the release scripting process into a single
location to develop a release tool.
