Ayaz Hafiz 6ae3b68acf feat(compiler): Parse and recover on incomplete opening HTML tags (#38681)
Let's say we have a code like

```html
<div<span>123</span>
```

Currently this gets parsed into a tree with the element tag `div<span`.
This has at least two downsides:

- An incorrect diagnostic that `</span>` doesn't close an element is
  emitted.
- A consumer of the parse tree using it for editor services is unable to
  provide correct completions for the opening `<span>` tag.

This patch attempts to fix both issues by instead parsing the code into
the same tree that would be parsed for `<div></div><span>123</span>`.

In particular, we do this by optimistically scanning an open tag as
usual, but if we do not notice a terminating '>', we mark the tag as
"incomplete". A parser then emits an error for the incomplete tag and
adds a synthetic (recovered) element node to the tree with the
incomplete open tag's name.

What's the downside of this? For one, a breaking change.

<ol>
<li>

The first breaking change is that `<` symbols that are ambiguously text
or opening tags will be parsed as opening tags instead of text in
element bodies. Take the code

```html
<p>a<b</p>
```

Clearly we cannot have the best of both worlds, and this patch chooses
to swap the parsing strategy to support the new feature. Of course, `<`
can still be inserted as text via the `&lt;` entity.

</li>
</ol>
