Pete Bacon Darwin b48d6e1b13 fix(ivy): ngcc - empower Esm5ReflectionHost to analyze ModuleWithProviders functions (#29092)
In ESM5 code, static methods appear as property assignments onto the constructor
function. For example:

```
var MyClass = (function() {
  function MyClass () {}
  MyClass.staticMethod = function() {};
  return MyClass;
})();
```

This commit teaches ngcc how to process these forms when searching
for `ModuleWithProviders` functions that need to be updated in the typings
files.

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.

Building

The project is built using Bazel:

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

Integration Testing

There are tests that check the behavior of the overall executable:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test:integration
