feat(compiler): Added "strictMetadataEmit" option to ngc (#10951)

ngc can now validate metadata before emitting to verify it doesn't
contain an error symbol that will result in a runtime error if
it is used by the StaticReflector.

To enable this add the section,

  "angularCompilerOptions": {
    "strictMetadataEmit": true
  }

to the top level of the tsconfig.json file passed to ngc.

Enabled metadata validation for packages that are intended to be
used statically.
