Previously, ngtsc would assume that a given directive/pipe being imported
from an external package was importable using the same name by which it
was declared. This isn't always true; sometimes a package will export a
directive under a different name. For example, Angular frequently prefixes
directive names with the 'ɵ' character to indicate that they're part of
the package's private API, and not for public consumption.
This commit introduces the TsReferenceResolver class which, given a
declaration to import and a module name to import it from, can determine
the exported name of the declared class within the module. This allows
ngtsc to pick the correct name by which to import the class instead of
making assumptions about how it was exported.
This resolver is used to select a correct symbol name when creating an
AbsoluteReference.
