JoostK 7dcf2864a3 feat(compiler-cli): expose function to allow short-circuiting of linking (#40137)
The linker is implemented using a Babel transform such that Babel needs
to parse and walk a source file to find the declarations that need to be
compiled. If it can be determined that a source file is known not to
contain any declarations the parsing and walking can be skipped as a
performance improvement. This commit adds an exposed function for tools
that integrate the linker to use to allow short-circuiting of the linker
transform.

* processed by the linker as it may contain declarations that need to be fully compiled. If false

* performance.
*
* This function may return true even for source files that don't actually contain any declarations
* that need to be compiled.

* @param source the source file content as a string.
* @returns whether the source file may contain declarations that need to be linked.
