Recent optimizations to ngcc have significantly reduced the total time
it takes to process `node_modules`, to such extend that sharding across
multiple processes has become less effective. Previously, running
ngcc asynchronously would allow for up to 8 workers to be allocated,
however these workers have to repeat work that could otherwise be shared.
Because ngcc is now able to reuse more shared computations, the overhead
of multiple workers is increased and therefore becomes less effective.
As an additional benefit, having fewer workers requires less memory and
less startup time.
To give an idea, using the following test setup:
```bash
npx @angular/cli new perf-test
cd perf-test
yarn ng add @angular/material
./node_modules/.bin/ngcc --properties es2015 module main \
--first-only --create-ivy-entry-points
```
We observe the following figures on CI:
| | 10.1.1 | PR #38840 |
| ----------------- | --------- | --------- |
| Sync | 85s | 25s |
| Async (8 workers) | 22s | 16s |
| Async (4 workers) | - | 11s |
In addition to changing the default number of workers, ngcc will now
use the environment variable `NGCC_MAX_WORKERS` that may be configured
to either reduce or increase the number of workers.

ngcc creates typically two `ts.Program` instances for each entry-point,
one for processing sources and another one for processing the typings.
The creation of these programs is somewhat expensive, as it concerns
module resolution and parsing of source files.
This commit implements several layers of caching to optimize the
creation of programs:
1. A shared module resolution cache across all entry-points within a
single invocation of ngcc. Both the sources and typings program
benefit from this cache.
2. Sharing the parsed `ts.SourceFile` for a single entry-point between
the sources and typings program.
3. Sharing parsed `ts.SourceFile`s of TypeScript's default libraries
across all entry-points within a single invocation. Some of these
default library typings are large and therefore expensive to parse,
so sharing the parsed source files across all entry-points offers
a significant performance improvement.
Using a bare CLI app created using `ng new` + `ng add @angular/material`,
the above changes offer a 3-4x improvement in ngcc's processing time
when running synchronously and ~2x improvement for asynchronous runs.

In TypeScript 3.8 support was added for type-only imports, which only brings in
the symbol as a type, not their value. The Angular compiler did not yet take
the type-only keyword into account when representing symbols in type positions
as value expressions. The class metadata that the compiler emits would include
the value expression for its parameter types, generating actual imports as
necessary. For type-only imports this should not be done, as it introduces an
actual import of the module that was originally just a type-only import.
This commit lets the compiler deal with type-only imports specially, preventing
a value expression from being created.

This commit significantly refactors the 'typecheck' package to introduce a
new abstraction, the `TemplateTypeChecker`. To achieve this:
* a 'typecheck:api' package is introduced, containing common interfaces that
consumers of the template type-checking infrastructure can depend on
without incurring a dependency on the template type-checking machinery as
a whole.
* interfaces for `TemplateTypeChecker` and `TypeCheckContext` are introduced
which contain the abstract operations supported by the implementation
classes `TemplateTypeCheckerImpl` and `TypeCheckContextImpl` respectively.
* the `TemplateTypeChecker` interface supports diagnostics on a whole
program basis to start with, but the implementation is purposefully
designed to support incremental diagnostics at a per-file or per-component
level.
* `TemplateTypeChecker` supports direct access to the type check block of a
component.
* the testing utility is refactored to be a lot more useful, and new tests
are added for the new abstraction.

In CLI v10 there was a move to use the new solution-style tsconfig
which became available in TS 3.9.
The result of this is that the standard tsconfig.json no longer contains
important information such as "paths" mappings, which ngcc might need to
correctly compute dependencies.
ngcc (and ngc and tsc) infer the path to tsconfig.json if not given an
explicit tsconfig file-path. But now that means it infers the solution
tsconfig rather than one that contains the useful information it used to
get.
This commit logs a warning in this case to inform the developer
that they might not have meant to load this tsconfig and offer
alternative options.

The `fs.relative()` method assumed that the file-system is a single tree,
which is not the case in Windows, where you can have multiple drives,
e.g. `C:`, `D:` etc.
This commit changes `fs.relative()` so that it no longer forces the result
to be a `PathSegment` and then flows that refactoring through the rest of
the compiler-cli (and ngcc). The main difference is that now, in some cases,
we needed to check whether the result is "rooted", i.e an `AbsoluteFsPath`,
rather than a `PathSegment`, before using it.

When ngcc creates an entry-point program, the `allowJs` option is enabled
in order to operate on the JavaScript source files of the entry-point.
A side-effect of this approach is that external modules that don't ship
declaration files will also have their JavaScript source files loaded
into the program, as the `allowJs` flag allows for them to be imported.
This may pose an issue in certain edge cases, where ngcc would inadvertently
operate on these external modules. This can introduce all sorts of undesirable
behavior and incompatibilities, e.g. the reflection host that is selected for
the entry-point's format could be incompatible with that of the external
module's JavaScript bundles.
To avoid these kinds of issues, module resolution that would resolve to
a JavaScript file located outside of the package will instead be rejected,
as if the file would not exist. This would have been the behavior when
`allowJs` is set to false, which is the case in typical Angular compilations.

Previously the `ProgramBasedEntryPointFinder` was parsing all the
entry-points referenced by the program for dependencies even if all the
entry-points had been processed already.
Now this entry-point finder will re-use the `EntryPointManifest` to load
the entry-point dependencies when possible which avoids having to parse
them all again, on every invocation of ngcc.
Previously the `EntryPointManifest` was only used in the
`DirectoryWalkerEntryPointFinder`, which also contained the logic for
computing the contents of the manifest. This logic has been factored out
into an `EntryPointCollector` class. Both the `ProgramBasedEntryPointFinder`
and `DirectoryWalkerEntryPointFinder` now use the `EntryPointManifest` and
the `EntryPointCollector`.
The result of this change is that there is a small cost on the first run of
ngcc to compute and store the manifest - the processing takes 102% of the
processing time before this PR. But on subsequent runs there is a
significant benefit on subsequent runs - the processing takes around 50%
of the processing time before this PR.

This dependency host tokenizes files to identify all the imported
paths. This commit calculates the last place in the source code
where there can be an import path; it then exits the tokenization
when we get to this point in the file.
Testing with a reasonably large project showed that the tokenizer
spends about 2/3 as much time scanning files. For example in a
"noop" hot run of ngcc using the program-based entry-point
finder the percentage of time spent in the `scan()` function of
the TS tokenizer goes down from 9.9% to 6.6%.

Previously, ngcc would only be able to match an ngcc configuration to
packages that were located inside the project's top-level
`node_modules/`. However, if there are multiple versions of a package in
a project (e.g. as a transitive dependency of other packages), multiple
copies of a package (at different versions) may exist in nested
`node_modules/` directories. For example, one at
`<project-root>/node_modules/some-package/` and one at
`<project-root>/node_modules/other-package/node_modules/some-package/`.
In such cases, ngcc was only able to detect the config for the first
copy but not for the second.
This commit fixes this by returning a new instance of
`ProcessedNgccPackageConfig` for each different package path (even if
they refer to the same package name). In these
`ProcessedNgccPackageConfig`, the `entryPoints` paths have been
processed to take the package path into account.

This commit adds a `packageName` property to the `EntryPoint` interface.

PR Close#37040
In order to retrieve the ngcc configuration (if any) for an entry-point,
ngcc has to detect the containing package's version.
Previously, ngcc would try to read the version from the entry-point's
`package.json` file, which was different than the package's top-level
`package.json` for secondary entry-points. For example, it would try to
read it from `node_modules/@angular/common/http/package.json` for
entry-point `@angular/common/http`. However, the `package.json` files
for secondary entry-points are not guaranteed to include a `version`
property.
This commit fixes this by first trying to read the version from the
_package's_ `package.json` (falling back to the entry-point's
`package.json`). For example, it will first try to read it from
`@angular/common/package.json` for entry-point `@angular/common/http`.

Rename the `package` property to `packagePath` on the `EntryPoint`
interface. This makes it more clear that the `packagePath` property
holds the absolute path to the containing package (similar to how `path`

`packageName` property that will be added in a subsequent commit.
This commit also re-orders the `EntryPoint` properties to group related
properties together and to match the order of properties on instances
with that on the interface.

Previously, when an entry-point was ignored via an ngcc config, ngcc
would scan sub-directories for sub-entry-points, but would not use the
correct `packagePath`. For example, if `@angular/common` was ignored, it
would look at `@angular/common/http` but incorrectly use
`.../@angular/common/http` as the `packagePath` (instead of
`.../@angular/common`). As a result, it would not retrieve the correct
ngcc config for the actual package.
This commit fixes it by ensuring the correct `packagePath` is used, even
if the primary entry-point corresponding to that path is ignored. In
order to do this, a new return value for `getEntryPointInfo()` is added:
`IGNORED_ENTRY_POINT`. This is used to differentiate between directories
that correspond to no or an incompatible entry-point and those that
correspond to an entry-point that could otherwise be valid but is
explicitly ignored. Consumers of `getEntryPointInfo()` can then use this
info to discard ignored entry-points, but still use the correct
`packagePath` when scanning their sub-directories for secondary
entry-points.

It is quite common for the TS compiler to have to add synthetic
types to function signatures, where the developer has not
explicitly provided them. This results in `import(...)` expressions
appearing in typings files. For example in `@ngrx/data` there is a
class with a getter that has an implicit type:
```ts
export declare class EntityCollectionServiceBase<...> {
...
get store() {
return this.dispatcher.store;
}
...
}
```
In the d.ts file for this we get:
```ts
get store(): Store<import("@ngrx/data").EntityCache>;
```
Given that this file is within the `@ngrx/data` package already,
this caused ngcc to believe that there was a circular dependency,
causing it to fail to process the package - and in fact crash!
This commit resolves this problem by ignoring `import()` expressions
when scanning typings programs for dependencies. This ability was
only introduced very recently in a 10.0.0 RC release, and so it has
limited benefit given that up till now ngcc has been able to process
libraries effectively without it. Moreover, in the rare case that a
package does have such a dependency, it should get picked up
by the sync ngcc+CLI integration point.
