In ES5 and ES2015, class identifiers may have aliases. Previously, the
`NgccReflectionHost`s recognized the following formats:
- ES5:
```js
var MyClass = (function () {
function InnerClass() {}
InnerClass_1 = InnerClass;
...
}());
```
- ES2015:
```js
let MyClass = MyClass_1 = class MyClass { ... };
```
In addition to the above, this commit adds support for recognizing an
alias outside the IIFE in ES5 classes (which was previously not
supported):
```js
var MyClass = MyClass_1 = (function () { ... }());
```

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.
