In ngcc's reflection hosts for compiled JS bundles, such as ESM2015, special care needs to be taken for classes as there may be an outer declaration (referred to as "declaration") and an inner declaration (referred to as "implementation") for a given class. Therefore, there will also be two `ts.Symbol`s bound per class, and ngcc needs to switch between those declarations and symbols depending on where certain information can be found. Prior to this commit, the `NgccReflectionHost` interface had methods `getClassSymbol` and `findClassSymbols` that would return a `ts.Symbol`. These class symbols would be used to kick off compilation of components using ngtsc, so it is important for these symbols to correspond with the publicly visible outer declaration of the class. However, the ESM2015 reflection host used to return the `ts.Symbol` for the inner declaration, if the class was declared as follows: ```javascript var MyClass = class MyClass {}; ``` For the above code, `Esm2015ReflectionHost.getClassSymbol` would return the `ts.Symbol` corresponding with the `class MyClass {}` declaration, whereas it should have corresponded with the `var MyClass` declaration. As a consequence, no `NgModule` could be resolved for the component, so no components/directives would be in scope for the component. This resulted in errors during runtime. This commit resolves the issue by introducing a `NgccClassSymbol` that contains references to both the outer and inner `ts.Symbol`, instead of just a single `ts.Symbol`. This avoids the unclarity of whether a `ts.Symbol` corresponds with the outer or inner declaration.
