In Angular programs, changing a file may require other files to be
emitted as well due to implicit NgModule dependencies. For example, if
the selector of a directive is changed then all components that have
that directive in their compilation scope need to be recompiled, as the
change of selector may affect the directive matching results.
Until now, the compiler solved this problem using a single dependency
graph. The implicit NgModule dependencies were represented in this
graph, such that a changed file would correctly also cause other files
to be re-emitted. This approach is limited in a few ways:
1. The file dependency graph is used to determine whether it is safe to
reuse the analysis data of an Angular decorated class. This analysis
data is invariant to unrelated changes to the NgModule scope, but
because the single dependency graph also tracked the implicit
NgModule dependencies the compiler had to consider analysis data as
stale far more often than necessary.
2. It is typical for a change to e.g. a directive to not affect its
public API—its selector, inputs, outputs, or exportAs clause—in which
case there is no need to re-emit all declarations in scope, as their
compilation output wouldn't have changed.
This commit implements a mechanism by which the compiler is able to
determine the impact of a change by comparing it to the prior
compilation. To achieve this, a new graph is maintained that tracks all
public API information of all Angular decorated symbols. During an
incremental compilation this information is compared to the information
that was captured in the most recently succeeded compilation. This
determines the exact impact of the changes to the public API, which
is then used to determine which files need to be re-emitted.
Note that the file dependency graph remains, as it is still used to
track the dependencies of analysis data. This graph does no longer track
the implicit NgModule dependencies, which allows for better reuse of
analysis data.
These changes also fix a bug where template type-checking would fail to
incorporate changes made to a transitive base class of a
directive/component. This used to be a problem because transitive base
classes were not recorded as a transitive dependency in the file
dependency graph, such that prior type-check blocks would erroneously
be reused.
This commit also fixes an incorrectness where a change to a declaration
in NgModule `A` would not cause the declarations in NgModules that
import from NgModule `A` to be re-emitted. This was intentionally
incorrect as otherwise the performance of incremental rebuilds would
have been far worse. This is no longer a concern, as the compiler is now
able to only re-emit when actually necessary.

For certain generated function calls, the compiler emits a 'PURE' annotation

call. This commit expands that system to produce a new Closure-specific

We currently provide completions for DOM elements in the schema as well
as attributes when we are in the context of an external template.
However, these completions are already provided by other extensions for
HTML contexts (like Emmet). To avoid duplication of results, this commit
updates the language service to exclude DOM completions for external
templates. They are still provided for inline templates because those
are not handled by the HTML language extensions.

In the new behavior Angular cleanups `popstate` and `hashchange` event listeners
when the root view gets destroyed, thus event handlers are not added twice
when the application is bootstrapped again.
BREAKING CHANGE:

used to return `void`. Now those methods return functions that can be called
to remove event handlers.

This commit updates the type of the `APP_INITIALIZER` injection token to
better document the expected types of values that Angular handles. Only
Promises and Observables are awaited and other types of values are ignored,
so the type of `APP_INITIALIZER` has been updated to
`Promise<unknown> | Observable<unknown> | void` to reflect this behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The type of the `APP_INITIALIZER` token has been changed to more accurately
reflect the types of return values that are handled by Angular. Previously,
each initializer callback was typed to return `any`, this is now
`Promise<unknown> | Observable<unknown> | void`. In the unlikely event that
your application uses the `Injector.get` or `TestBed.inject` API to inject
the `APP_INITIALIZER` token, you may need to update the code to account for
the stricter type.
Additionally, TypeScript may report the TS2742 error if the `APP_INITIALIZER`
token is used in an expression of which its inferred type has to be emitted
into a .d.ts file. To workaround this, an explicit type annotation is needed,
which would typically be `Provider` or `Provider[]`.

The compiler considers template diagnostics to "belong" to the source file
of the component using the template. This means that when diagnostics for
a source file are reported, it returns diagnostics of TS structures in the
actual source file, diagnostics for any inline templates, and diagnostics of
any external templates.
The Language Service uses a different model, and wants to show template
diagnostics in the actual .html file. Thus, it's not necessary (and in fact
incorrect) to include such diagnostics for the actual .ts file as well.
Doing this currently causes a bug where external diagnostics appear in the
TS file with "random" source spans.
This commit changes the Language Service to filter the set of diagnostics
returned by the compiler and only include those diagnostics with spans
actually within the .ts file itself.

The current logic in the compiler is to bail when there are errors when
parsing a template into an HTML AST or when there are errors in the i18n
metadata. As a result, a template with these types of parse errors
_will not have any information for the language service_. This is because we
never attempt to conver the HTML AST to a template AST in these
scenarios, so there are no template AST nodes for the language service
to look at for information. In addition, this also means that the errors
are never displayed in the template to the user because there are no
nodes to map the error to.
This commit adds an option to the template parser to temporarily ignore
the html parse and i18n meta errors and always perform the template AST
conversion. At the end, the i18n and HTML parse errors are appended to
the returned errors list. While this seems risky, it at least provides
us with more information than we had before (which was 0) and it's only
done in the context of the language service, when the compiler is
configured to use poisoned data (HTML parse and i18n meta errors can be
interpreted as a "poisoned" template).
