Before #41162, angular.io was broken on IE 11 due to missing a polyfill
for an API (`Reflect.construct()`) needed by the Custom Elements ES5
shim. #41162 tried to fix this by loading the necessary polyfill
(`es.reflect.construct.js`) on browsers that do not support ES2015
modules (including IE 11).
It turns out that the fix in #41162 was itself broken, because the
`es.reflect.consruct.js` script (included directly in the page via a
`<script>` tag) was in CommonJS format (which cannot run in the browser
as is). By chance, this still allowed browsers that supported neither
Custom Elements nor ES2015 modules (such as IE 11) to work correctly as
a side-effect of loading the `@webcomponents/custom-elements` polyfill
after the Custom Elements ES5 shim (`native-shim.js`). However, on the
few browsers that natively support Custom Elements but not ES2015
modules, angular.io would still be broken.
This commit correctly fixes angular.io on all browsers by properly
bundling the polyfills and transpiling to ES5.
Implementation-wise, we use [esbuild][1] for bundling the polyfills (and
converting from CommonJS to a browser-compatible, IIFE-based format) and
[swc][2] for downleveling the code to ES5 (since `esbuild` only supports
ES2015+).

BREAKING CHANGE:
Switching default of `emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue`
which changes the default behavior and may cause some applications which
rely on the incorrect behavior to fail.
`emitDistinctChangesOnly` flag has also been deprecated and will be
removed in a future major release.
The previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in an 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 that determines
how often change event should fire.
Unfortunately, fixing the behavior outright caused too many existing
applications to fail. For this reason, Angular considers this fix a
breaking fix and has introduced a flag in `@ContentChildren` and
`@ViewChildren`, that controls the behavior.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option is the new default with this change.
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}
```
For backward compatibility before v12
`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change
changes the default to `true`.

Previously, the generated `404.html` page did not include a `<body>`

This commit ensures the generated page contains a `<body>` tag. It also

Previously, the angular.io app was broken on IE 11. In particular, pages
that included Custom Elements would fail to load, because the
`Reflect.construct()` method (which the Custom Elements ES5 shim relies
on) was not available.
This commit fixes this by loading the polyfill for `Reflect.construct()`
on browsers that do not support ES2015 (including IE 11).

The custom elements spec is not compatible with ES5 style classes. This
means ES2015 code compiled to ES5 will not work with a native
implementation of Custom Elements. To support browsers that natively
support Custom Elements but not ES2015 modules, we load
`@webcomponents/custom-elements/src/native-shim.js`, which minimally
augments the native implementation to be compatible with ES5 code.
(See [here][1] for more details.)
Previously, the shim was included in `polyfills.ts`, which meant it was
loaded in all browsers (even those supporting ES2015 modules and thus
not needing the shim).
This commit moves the shim from `polyfills.ts` to a `nomodule` script
tag in `index.html`. This will ensure that it is only loaded in browsers
that do not support ES2015 modules and thus do not needed the shim.
NOTE:
This commit also reduces size of the polyfills bundle by ~400B
(52609B --> 52215B).

Previously, the indentation of code snippets in the "Cheat sheet" guide
was done using `<br>` elements (for line breaks) and ` ` HTML
entities (for space). This was laborious and put the onus on the author
to remember to use these symbols (instead of regular whitespace
characters).
(Discussed in
https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/41051#discussion_r585651621.)
This commit changes the way `<code>` elements are styles inside the
"Cheat sheet" guide to allow using regular whitespace characters in code
snippets. It also changes all `<br>`/` ` occurrences to `\n`/` `
respectively to make code snippets more readable in the source code.

The "Features" page organizes features in groups/rows of 3 features
each. On wide screens, all 3 paragraphs of a group/row can be shown next
to each other. On narrow screens (between 768px and 1057px), the layout
changes to stack the paragraphs vertically. On medium screens, however,
there is not enough space to show more than two paragraphs next to each
other.
Previously, the 3rd paragraph was wrapped over to the next line.
This commit improves the layout on medium screens by switching to
immediately stacking the paragraphs vertically as soon as there is not
enough space for them to be displayed in one row. Since the total width
is still too much for one paragraph, the paragraphs are limited to 80%
of the total width.

Previously, with the min width of 220px per item, several API list items
were truncated.
This commit increases the min width per item to 330px, which allows
almost all items to have their full text shown. It also increases the
API list page's max content width from 50em (800px) to 62.5em (1000px)
to allow items to be shown on three columns despite their increased
width. This increase in the content width shouldn't negatively affect
UX, since the API list page uses a multi-column layout (i.e. it does not
contain 1000px-lines of text.)

Previously, each marketing page used a different limit for its content's
width (if it had a limit at all) and implemented the width limiting in a
different way. Besides resulting in an inconsistent UX, this also made
it difficult to apply site-wide layout changes.
This commit makes the limit for most marketing pages consistent and uses
the same CSS class to make it easier to apply site-wide changes in the
future. The chosen limit is slightly larger than that of docs pages
(62.5em/1000px vs 50em/800px), because marketing pages have a different
type of content and layout (i.e. images, multi-column layout, etc.).
Finally, this commit also removes obsolete wrapper elements, CSS classes
and CSS styles, that are no longer necessary after the changes.
Notably, the homepage (`/`) and the "Contributors" page (`/about`) have
remained unchanged, because the former has its own layout that is
different from other marketing pages and the latter would offer a worse
UX with a small content width limit (as the one used on other marketing
pages).
The content widths of the rest of the marketing pages change slightly as
a result of the changes in this commit, but not in a way that would have
a negative impact on UX. More specifically:
| Page (URL) | Size before | Size after |
|:--------------|------------:|-----------:|
| `/contribute` | 880px | 1000px |
| `/events` | unlimited | 1000px |
| `/features` | 996px | 1000px |
| `/presskit` | 800px | 1000px |
| `/resources` | 800px | 1000px |

Previously, styling of `<code>` elements utilized the `:not()` CSS
pseudo-class with multiple selectors (`:not(h1, h2, ...)`). It turns out
that older browsers (such as IE11) do not support multiple selectors in
a single `:not()` instance.
(See [MDN][1] and [CanIUse][2] for more info.)
This commit fixes `<code>` styling to use multiple separate `:not()`
instances instead (`:not(h1):not(h2)...`), so that they are styled
correctly on older browsers as well.
NOTE:
This change seems to trigger some kind of bug in LightHouse that causes
the a11y score of `/start` to be calculated as 0 (which is clearly
wrong). This happens on Linux (tested on CI and locally using the
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)) - on Windows the score is computed
correctly as 98/100.
([Example failure][3])
The bug seems to be related to the layout of the content and goes away
if we change the viewport size (for example, switching to LightHouse's
`desktop` config) or make another change that affects the content's
layout (for example, reducing the padding of `<code>` elements).
To work around the issue, this commit updates the `test-aio-a11y.js`
script to test `/start-routing` instead of `/start`.

Previously, in contrast to docs pages, marketing pages had a non-fixed
top-menu, which meant that the top-menu would scroll out of the viewport
along with the rest of the content. This had a couple of downsides:
- The UI was different between pages (i.e. different top-menu behavior
on docs vs marketing pages).
- Since some of the marketing pages are long, it was not easy for people
to navigate to a different page (i.e. they had to scroll all the way
back up).
This commit improves the UX by using the same, fixed top-menu on all
pages, which restores consistency and allows the user to navigate around
more easily.
NOTE:
The old behavior (non-fixed top-menu) is kept on the homepage, since its
top-menu design in a little different than other pages (e.g. it uses a
transparent top-menu) and would not play well with a fixed top-menu.
