Pete Bacon Darwin 2bfddcf29f feat(ngcc): automatically clean outdated ngcc artifacts (#35079)
If ngcc gets updated to a new version then the artifacts
left in packages that were processed by the previous
version are possibly invalid.

Previously we just errored if we found packages that
had already been processed by an outdated version.

Now we automatically clean the packages that have
outdated artifacts so that they can be reprocessed
correctly with the current ngcc version.

Fixes #35082

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.

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
