Previously, any diagnostics reported during the compilation of an
entry-point would not be shown to the user, but either be ignored or
cause a hard crash in case of a `FatalDiagnosticError`. This is
unfortunate, as such error instances contain information on which code
was responsible for producing the error, whereas only its error message
would not. Therefore, it was quite hard to determine where the error
originates from.
This commit introduces behavior to deal with error diagnostics in a more
graceful way. Such diagnostics will still cause the compilation to fail,
however the error message now contains formatted diagnostics.

If a project has nested projects that contain node_modules folders
that get processed by ngcc, it can be confusing when the ngcc
version changes since the error message is very generic:
```
The ngcc compiler has changed since the last ngcc build.
Please completely remove `node_modules` and try again.
```
This commit augments the error message with the path of
the entry-point that failed so that it is more obvious which
node_modules folder to remove.
BREAKING CHANGE:
This commit removes the public export of `hasBeenProcessed()`.
This was exported to be availble to the CLI integration but was never
used. The change to the function signature is a breaking change in itself
so we remove the function altogether to simplify and lower the public
API surface going forward.

Reworks the compiler to output the factories for directives, components and pipes under a new static field called `ngFactoryFn`, instead of the usual `factory` property in their respective defs. This should eventually allow us to inject any kind of decorated class (e.g. a pipe).
**Note:** these changes are the first part of the refactor and they don't include injectables. I decided to leave injectables for a follow-up PR, because there's some more cases we need to handle when it comes to their factories. Furthermore, directives, components and pipes make up most of the compiler output tests that need to be refactored and it'll make follow-up PRs easier to review if the tests are cleaned up now.
This is part of the larger refactor for FW-1468.

When ngcc is called for a specific entry-point, it has to determine
which dependencies to transitively process. To accomplish this, ngcc
traverses the full import graph of the entry-points it encounters, for
which it uses a dependency host to find all module imports. Since
imports look different in the various bundle formats ngcc supports, a
specific dependency host is used depending on the information provided
in an entry-points `package.json` file. If there's not enough
information in the `package.json` file for ngcc to be able to determine
which dependency host to use, ngcc would fail with an error.
If, however, the entry-point is not compiled by Angular, it is not
necessary to process any of its dependencies. None of them can have
been compiled by Angular so ngcc does not need to know about them.
Therefore, this commit changes the behavior to avoid recursing into
dependencies of entry-points that are not compiled by Angular.
In particular, this fixes an issue for packages that have dependencies
on the `date-fns` package. This package has various secondary
entry-points that have a `package.json` file only containing a `typings`
field, without providing additional fields for ngcc to know which
dependency host to use. By not needing a dependency host at all, the
error is avoided.

Previously, `ngcc` assumed that if a format property was defined in
`package.json` it would point to a valid format-path (i.e. a file that
is an entry-point for a specific format). This is generally the case,
except if a format property is set to a non-string value (such as
`package.json`) - either directly in the `package.json` (which is unusual)
or in ngcc.config.js (which is a valid usecase, when one wants a
format property to be ignored by `ngcc`).
For example, the following config file would cause `ngcc` to throw:
```
module.exports = {
packages: {
'test-package': {
entryPoints: {
'.': {
override: {
fesm2015: undefined,
},
},
},
},
},
};
```
This commit fixes it by ensuring that only format properties whose value
is a string are considered by `ngcc`.
For reference, this regression was introduced in #32052.

During the dependency analysis phase of ngcc, imports are resolved to
files on disk according to certain module resolution rules. Since module
specifiers are typically missing extensions, or can refer to index.js
barrel files within a directory, the module resolver attempts several
postfixes when searching for a module import on disk. Module specifiers
that already include an extension, however, would fail to be resolved as
ngcc's module resolver failed to check the location on disk without
adding any postfixes.
Closes#32097
PR Close#32181
During the recursive processing of dependencies, ngcc resolves the
requested file to an actual location on disk, by testing various
extensions. For recursive calls however, the path is known to have been
resolved in the module resolver. Therefore, it is safe to move the path
resolution to the initial caller into the recursive process.
Note that this is not expected to improve the performance of ngcc, as
the call to `resolveFileWithPostfixes` is known to succeed immediately,
as the provided path is known to exist without needing to add any
postfixes. Furthermore, the FileSystem caches whether files exist, so
the additional check that we used to do was cheap.

ngcc needs to solve a unique problem when compiling typings for an
entrypoint: it must resolve a declaration within a .js file to its
representation in a .d.ts file. Since such .d.ts files can be used in deep
imports without ever being referenced from the "root" .d.ts, it's not enough
to simply match exported types to the root .d.ts. ngcc must build an index
of all .d.ts files.
Previously, this operation had a bug: it scanned all .d.ts files in the
.d.ts program, not only those within the package. Thus, if a class in the
program happened to share a name with a class exported from a dependency's
.d.ts, ngcc might accidentally modify the wrong .d.ts file, causing a
variety of issues downstream.
To fix this issue, ngcc's .d.ts scanner now limits the .d.ts files it
indexes to only those declared in the current package.

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 if only a component template changed then we would know to
rebuild its component source file. But the compilation was incorrect if the
component was part of an NgModule, since we were not capturing the
compilation scope information that had a been acquired from the NgModule
and was not being regenerated since we were not needing to recompile
the NgModule.
Now we register compilation scope information for each component, via the
`ComponentScopeRegistry` interface, so that it is available for incremental
compilation.
The `ComponentDecoratorHandler` now reads the compilation scope from a
`ComponentScopeReader` interface which is implemented as a compound
reader composed of the original `LocalModuleScopeRegistry` and the

Publishing of NGCC packages should not be allowed. It is easy for a user to publish an NGCC'd version of a library they have workspace libraries which are being used in a workspace application.

ngcc analyzes the dependency structure of the entrypoints it needs to
process, as the compilation of entrypoints is ordering sensitive: any
dependent upon entrypoint must be compiled before its dependees. As part
of the analysis of the dependency graph, it is detected when a
dependency of entrypoint is not installed, in which case that entrypoint
will be marked as ignored.
For libraries that work with Angular Universal to run in NodeJS, imports
into builtin NodeJS modules can be present. ngcc's dependency analyzer
can only resolve imports within the TypeScript compilation, which
builtin modules are not part of. Therefore, such imports would
erroneously cause the entrypoint to become ignored.

Previously, `ngcc` would avoid processing a `formatPath` that a property
in `package.json` mapped to, if either the _property_ was marked as
processed or the `formatPath` (i.e. the file(s)) was processed in the
same `ngcc` run (since the `compiledFormats` set was not persisted
across runs).
This could lead in a situation where a `formatPath` would be compiled
twice (if for example properties `a` and `b` both mapped to the same
`formatPath` and one would run `ngcc` for property `a` and then `b`).
This commit fixes it by ensuring that as soon as a `formatPath` has been
processed all corresponding properties are marked as processed (which
persists across `ngcc` runs).

Previously, when `ngcc` was called with `compileAllFormats === false`
(i.e. how `@angular/cli` calls it), it would not attempt to process
more properties, once the first was successfully processed. However, it
_would_ continue looping over them and perform some unnecessary
operations, such as:
- Determining the format each property maps to (which can be an
expensive operation for some properties mapping to either UMD or
CommonJS).
- Checking whether each property has been processed (which involves
checking whether any property has been processed with a different
version of `ngcc` each time).
- Potentially marking properties as processed (which involves a
file-write operation).
This commit avoids the unnecessary operations by entirely skipping
subsequent properties, once the first one has been successfully
processed. While this theoretically improves performance, it is not
expected to have any noticeable impact in practice, since the list of
`propertiesToConsider` is typically small and the most expensive
operation (marking a property as processed) has low likelihood of
happening (plus these operations are a tiny fraction of `ngcc`'s work).

This commit changes this, so that multiple properties can be updated at
once with one file-write operation. While this theoretically improves
performance (reducing the I/O operations), it is not expected to have
any noticeable impact in practice, since these operations are a tiny

An identifier may become repeated when bundling multiple source files
into a single bundle, so bundlers have a strategy of suffixing non-unique
identifiers with a suffix like $2. Since ngcc operates on such bundles,
it needs to process potentially suffixed identifiers in their canonical
form without the suffix. The "ngx-pagination" package was previously not
compiled fully, as most decorators were not recognized.
This commit ensures that identifiers are first canonicalized by removing
the suffix, such that they are properly recognized and processed by ngcc.

Any decorator information present in TypeScript is emitted into the
generated JavaScript sources by means of `__decorate` call. This call
contains both the decorators as they existed in the original source
code, together with calls to `tslib` helpers that convey additional
information on e.g. type information and parameter decorators. These
different kinds of decorator calls were not previously distinguished on
their own, but instead all treated as `Decorator` by themselves. The
"decorators" that were actually `tslib` helper calls were conveniently
filtered out because they were not imported from `@angular/core`, a
characteristic that ngcc uses to drop certain decorators.
Note that this posed an inconsistency in ngcc when it processes
`@angular/core`'s UMD bundle, as the `tslib` helper functions have been
inlined in said bundle. Because of the inlining, the `tslib` helpers
appear to be from `@angular/core`, so ngcc would fail to drop those
apparent "decorators". This inconsistency does not currently cause any
issues, as ngtsc is specifically looking for decorators based on their
name and any remaining decorators are simply ignored.
This commit rewrites the decorator analysis of a class to occur all in a
single phase, instead of all throughout the `ReflectionHost`. This
allows to categorize the various decorate calls in a single sweep,
instead of constantly needing to filter out undesired decorate calls on
the go. As an added benefit, the computed decorator information is now
cached per class, such that subsequent reflection queries that need
decorator information can reuse the cached info.

One such issue was that UMD processing of decorators was not
correct: the namespace was being omitted from references to

`Decorator.identifier` could hold a namespaced identifier,

There are two places in the ngcc processing where it needs to load the
content of a file given by a general path:
* when determining the format of an entry-point.
To do this ngcc uses the value of the relevant property in package.json.
But in the case of `main` it must parse the contents of the entry-point
file to decide whether the format is UMD or CommonJS.
* when parsing the source files for dependencies to determine the order in
which compilation must occur. The relative imports in each file are parsed
and followed recursively, looking for external imports.
Previously, we naively assumed that the path would match the file name exactly.
But actually we must consider the standard module resolution conventions.
E.g. the extension (.js) may be missing, or the path may refer to a directory
containing an index.js file.
This commit fixes both places.
This commit now requires the `DependencyHost` instances to check
the existence of more files than before (at worst all the different possible
post-fixes). This should not create a significant performance reduction for
ngcc. Since the results of the checks will be cached, and similar work is
done inside the TS compiler, so what we lose in doing it here, is saved later
in the processing. The main performance loss would be where there are lots
of files that need to be parsed for dependencies that do not end up being
processed by TS. But compared to the main ngcc processing this dependency
parsing is a small proportion of the work done and so should not impact
much on the overall performance of ngcc.

When profiling ngcc it is notable that a large amount of time
is spent dealing with an exception that is thrown (and handled
internally by fs) when checking the existence of a file.
We check file existence a lot in both finding entry-points
and when TS is compiling code. This commit adds a simple
cached `FileSystem`, which wraps a real `FileSystem` delegate.
This will reduce the number of calls through to `fs.exists()` and
`fs.readFile()` on the delegate.
Initial benchmarks indicate that the cache is miss to hit ratio
for `exists()` is about 2:1, which means that we save about 1/3
of the calls to `fs.existsSync()`.
Note that this implements a "non-expiring" cache, so it is not suitable
for a long lived `FileSystem`, where files may be modified externally.
The cache will be updated if a file is changed or moved via
calls to `FileSystem` methods but it will not be aware of changes
to the files system from outside the `FileSystem` service.
For ngcc we must create a new `FileSystem` service
for each run of `mainNgcc` and ensure that all file operations
(including TS compilation) use the `FileSystem` service.
This ensures that it is very unlikely that a file will change
externally during `mainNgcc` processing.
