Specifically: narrow the type used for form statuses from string to a union of possible statuses. Change the API methods from any to use the new type.
This is a breaking change. However, as discussed in the PR, breakage seems minimal, and google3 has been prepped to land this.
Background: we uncovered these any typings in the course of design work for typed forms. They could be fixed in a non-breaking manner by piggybacking them on top of the new typed forms generics, but it would be much cleaner to fix them separately if possible.
BREAKING CHANGE:
A new type called `FormControlStatus` has been introduced, which is a union of all possible status strings for form controls. `AbstractControl.status` has been narrowed from `string` to `FormControlStatus`, and `statusChanges` has been narrowed from `Observable<any>` to `Observable<FormControlStatus>`. Most applications should consume the new types seamlessly. Any breakage caused by this change is likely due to one of the following two problems: (1) the app is comparing `AbstractControl.status` against a string which is not a valid status; or, (2) the app is using `statusChanges` events as if they were something other than strings.

We can't update the framework to rxjs7 until version 13, because it contains breaking changes, but we can allow users to opt into it since all of our code should be compatible.
These changes expand the allowed version range of rxjs and add an integration test to verify that we don't get compilation errors. Note that we also have a test that runs the AIO examples against rxjs 7 already (#42660).

When a FormControl, FormArray, or FormGroup is first constructed, if an async validator is attached, the `statusChanges` observable should receive a message when the validator complete (i.e. pending -> valid/invalid). If the validator was provided as part of the constructor options, it was not fired at construction time, which is fixed in this PR.

As previously discussed in pull/31070 and issues/30486, this would be useful because it is often desirable to apply styles to fields that are both `ng-invalid` and `ng-pristine` after the first attempt at form submission, but Angular does not provide any simple way to do this (although evidently Angularjs did). This will now be possible with a descendant selector such as `.ng-submitted .ng-invalid`.
In this implementation, the directive that sets control status classes on forms and formGroups has its set of statuses widened to include `ng-submitted`. Then, in the event that `is('submitted')` is invoked, the `submitted` property of the control container is returned iff it exists. This is preferred over checking whether the container is a `Form` or `FormGroup` directly to avoid reflecting on those classes.

Prior to this change the `min` and `max` validator directives would not
set the `min` and `max` attributes on the host element. The problem was
caused by the truthy check in host binding expression that was
calculated as `false` when `0` is used as a value. This commit updates
the logic to leverage nullish coalescing operator in these host binding
expressions, so `0` is treated as a valid value, thus the `min` and
`max` attributes are set correctly.

The Validator and AsyncValidator interfaces provide a callback, `registerOnValidatorChange(fn)`. `registerOnValidatorChange` is supposed to be fired at least once to register `fn` with the validator. `fn` is then called by the validator whenever its inputs change. This was previously not happening for FormGroup validators, and is now fixed.

Currently the `Validators` class contains a number of static methods that represent different validators as well as some helper methods. Since class methods are not tree-shakable, any reference to the `Validator` class retains all of its methods (even if you've used just one).
This commit refactors the code to extract the logic into standalone functions and use these functions in the code instead of referencing them via `Validators` class. That should make the code more tree-shakable. The `Validators` class still retains its structure and calls these standalone methods internally to keep this change backwards-compatible.

This commit adds the `emitEvent` option to the following FormArray and FormGroup methods:
* FormGroup.addControl
* FormGroup.removeControl
* FormGroup.setControl
* FormArray.push
* FormArray.insert
* FormArray.removeAt
* FormArray.setControl
* FormArray.clear
This option can be used to prevent an event from being emitted when adding or removing controls.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The `emitEvent` option was added to the following `FormArray` and `FormGroup` methods:
* FormGroup.addControl
* FormGroup.removeControl
* FormGroup.setControl
* FormArray.push
* FormArray.insert
* FormArray.removeAt
* FormArray.setControl
* FormArray.clear
If your app has custom classes that extend `FormArray` or `FormGroup` classes and override the
above-mentioned methods, you may need to update your implementation to take the new options into
account and make sure that overrides are compatible from a types perspective.

corresponding form control status would reflect that.

Prior to this commit, the `patchValue()` of the `FormGroup` and `FormArray` classes used to throw an exception
when the `value` argument contained a data structure that has `null` or `undefined` as a value for a field
that represents an instance of `FormGroup` or `FormArray` (for `FormControl` it's not a problem, since it
doesn't have nested controls), since the `patchValue()` method tried to iterate over provided values to
match current data structure.
This commit updates the `patchValue()` logic in `FormGroup` and `FormArray` classes to just ignore `null` and
`undefined` values (without any changes to corresponding `FormGroup` and `FormArray` instances). This
behavior looks inline with the `patchValue()` method goal of "doing its best to match the values to the
correct controls" (quote from docs).

PR #39235 introduced additional cleanup logic for form controls and directives. The cleanup logic relies
on the presence of ControlValueAccessor instances on FormControlName and FormControl directives. In general
these fields are present and there are also checks to make sure that the mentioned directive instances are
created with CVAs. However some scenarios (primarily tests) may invoke the logic in a way that the directive
instance would not be fully initialized, thus causing CVA to be absent. As a result, the cleanup logic fails
while trying to call some methods on associated CVA instances.
This commit updates the cleanup logic to take into account the situation when CVA is not present.

When a form is reset, it goes through `_forEachChild` to call `reset` on each of its children.
The problem is that if a control is removed while the loop is running (e.g. by a subscription),
the form will throw an error, because it built up the list of available control before the loop
started.
These changes fix the issue by adding a null check before invoing the callback.

The `NgControlStatusGroup` directive is shared between template-driven and reactive form modules. In cases when
only reactive forms module is present, the `NgControlStatusGroup` directive is still activated on all `<form>`
elements, but if there is no other reactive directive applied (such as `formGroup`), corresponding `ControlContainer`
token is missing, thus causing exceptions (since `NgControlStatusGroup` directive relies on it to determine the
status). This commit updates the logic to handle the case when no `ControlContainer` is present (effectively making
directive logic a noop in this case).
Alternative approach (more risky) worth considering in the future is to split the `NgControlStatusGroup` into
2 directives with different set of selectors and include them into template-driven and reactive modules separately.
The downside is that these directives might be activated simultaneously on the same element (e.g. `<form>`),
effectively doing the work twice.

Prior to this commit, removing `FormControlDirective` and `FormGroupName` directive instances didn't clear
the callbacks previously registered on FromControl/FormGroup class instances. As a result, these callbacks
were executed even after `FormControlDirective` and `FormGroupName` directive instances were destroyed. That was
also causing memory leaks since these callbacks also retained references to DOM elements.
This commit updates the cleanup logic to take care of properly detaching FormControl/FormGroup/FormArray instances
from the view by removing view-specific callback at destroy time.

This expands the deprecation message that started to pop up in v11.0.3
after the landing of commit e148382bd0,
that deprecated the `{[key: string]: any}` type for the options property of the `FormBuilder.group` method.
It turns out that having a custom validator declared as
`{ validators: (group: FormGroup) => ValidationErrors|null }` works in practice,
but is now inferred by TS as the deprecated version of `group`
(because `FormGroup` is a subclass of `AbstractControl` that `ValidatorFn` expects).
We considered the possibility of tweaking the forms API to accept such validators,
but it turns out to generate too many changes in the framework or possible breaking changes for Angular users.
We settled for a more explicit deprecation message, elaborated with the help of @petebacondarwin.
This will hopefully help developers to understand why the deprecation warning is showing up
when they think they are already using the non-deprecated overload.
