In ngcc's reflection hosts for compiled JS bundles, such as ESM2015,
special care needs to be taken for classes as there may be an outer
declaration (referred to as "declaration") and an inner declaration
(referred to as "implementation") for a given class. Therefore, there
will also be two `ts.Symbol`s bound per class, and ngcc needs to switch
between those declarations and symbols depending on where certain
information can be found.
Prior to this commit, the `NgccReflectionHost` interface had methods
`getClassSymbol` and `findClassSymbols` that would return a `ts.Symbol`.
These class symbols would be used to kick off compilation of components
using ngtsc, so it is important for these symbols to correspond with the
publicly visible outer declaration of the class. However, the ESM2015
reflection host used to return the `ts.Symbol` for the inner
declaration, if the class was declared as follows:
```javascript
var MyClass = class MyClass {};
```
For the above code, `Esm2015ReflectionHost.getClassSymbol` would return
the `ts.Symbol` corresponding with the `class MyClass {}` declaration,
whereas it should have corresponded with the `var MyClass` declaration.
As a consequence, no `NgModule` could be resolved for the component, so
no components/directives would be in scope for the component. This
resulted in errors during runtime.
This commit resolves the issue by introducing a `NgccClassSymbol` that
contains references to both the outer and inner `ts.Symbol`, instead of
just a single `ts.Symbol`. This avoids the unclarity of whether a
`ts.Symbol` corresponds with the outer or inner declaration.

One of the compiler's tasks is to enumerate the exports of a given ES
module. This can happen for example to resolve `foo.bar` where `foo` is a
namespace import:
```typescript
import * as foo from './foo';
@NgModule({
directives: [foo.DIRECTIVES],
})
```
In this case, the compiler must enumerate the exports of `foo.ts` in order
to evaluate the expression `foo.DIRECTIVES`.
When this operation occurs under ngcc, it must deal with the different
module formats and types of exports that occur. In commonjs code, a problem
arises when certain exports are downleveled.
```typescript
export const DIRECTIVES = [
FooDir,
BarDir,
];
```
can be downleveled to:
```javascript
exports.DIRECTIVES = [
FooDir,
BarDir,
```
Previously, ngtsc and ngcc expected that any export would have an associated
`ts.Declaration` node. `export class`, `export function`, etc. all retain
`ts.Declaration`s even when downleveled. But the `export const` construct
above does not. Therefore, ngcc would not detect `DIRECTIVES` as an export
of `foo.ts`, and the evaluation of `foo.DIRECTIVES` would therefore fail.
To solve this problem, the core concept of an exported `Declaration`
according to the `ReflectionHost` API is split into a `ConcreteDeclaration`
which has a `ts.Declaration`, and an `InlineDeclaration` which instead has
a `ts.Expression`. Differentiating between these allows ngcc to return an
`InlineDeclaration` for `DIRECTIVES` and correctly keep track of this
export.

Previously we were relying upon the `.get()` method to return `undefined`
but it is clearer and safer to always check with `.has()` first.

In ES2015, classes could have been emitted as a variable declaration
initialized with a class expression. In certain situations, an intermediary
variable suffixed with `_1` is present such that the variable
declaration's initializer becomes a binary expression with its rhs being
the class expression, and its lhs being the identifier of the intermediate
variable. This structure was not recognized, resulting in such classes not
being considered as a class in `Esm2015ReflectionHost`.
As a consequence, the analysis of functions/methods that return a
`ModuleWithProviders` object did not take the methods of such classes into
account.
Another edge-case with such intermediate variable was that static
properties would not be considered as class members. A testcase was added
to prevent regressions.

In ESM5 code, static methods appear as property assignments onto the constructor
function. For example:
```
var MyClass = (function() {
function MyClass () {}
MyClass.staticMethod = function() {};
return MyClass;
})();
```
This commit teaches ngcc how to process these forms when searching
for `ModuleWithProviders` functions that need to be updated in the typings
files.
