Alex Rickabaugh 252e3e9487 refactor(ivy): formalize the compilation process for matched handlers (#34288)
Prior to this commit, the `IvyCompilation` tracked the state of each matched
`DecoratorHandler` on each class in the `ts.Program`, and how they
progressed through the compilation process. This tracking was originally
simple, but had grown more complicated as the compiler evolved. The state of
each specific "target" of compilation was determined by the nullability of
a number of fields on the object which tracked it.

This commit formalizes the process of compilation of each matched handler
into a new "trait" concept. A trait is some aspect of a class which gets
created when a `DecoratorHandler` matches the class. It represents an Ivy
aspect that needs to go through the compilation process.

Traits begin in a "pending" state and undergo transitions as various steps
of compilation take place. The `IvyCompilation` class is renamed to the
`TraitCompiler`, which manages the state of all of the traits in the active
program.

Making the trait concept explicit will support future work to incrementalize
the expensive analysis process of compilation.

Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)

This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.

This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.

Building

The project is built using Bazel:

yarn bazel build //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test

Integration Testing

There are tests that check the behavior of the overall executable:
