Miško Hevery 2c09b707ce refactor(ivy): make return value of define(Component|Directive|Pipe|Injector|Injectable) private (#23371)
Ivy definition looks something like this:

```
class MyService {
  static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
    …
  });
}
```

Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an `OpaqueToken`.

By prefixing the type with `ɵ` we are communicating the the outside world that
the value is not public API and is subject to change without backward compatibility.
