Previously the value passed to `AstFactory.attachComments()` could be
`undefined` which is counterintuitive, since why attach something that
doesn't exist? Now it expects there to be a defined array. Further it no
longer returns a statement. Both these aspects of the interface were designed
to make the usage simpler but has the result of complicating the implemenation.
The `ExpressionTranslatorVisitor` now has a helper function (`attachComments()`)
to handle `leadingComments` being undefined and also returning the statement.
This keeps the usage in the translator simple, while ensuring that the `AstFactory`
API is not influenced by how it is used.

Common AST formats such as TS and Babel do not use a separate
node for comments, but instead attach comments to other AST nodes.
Previously this was worked around in TS by creating a `NotEmittedStatement`
AST node to attach the comment to. But Babel does not have this facility,
so it will not be a viable approach for the linker.
This commit refactors the output AST, to remove the `CommentStmt` and
`JSDocCommentStmt` nodes. Instead statements have a collection of
`leadingComments` that are rendered/attached to the final AST nodes
when being translated or printed.

Prior to this change, the unary + and - operators would be parsed as `x - 0`
and `0 - x` respectively. The runtime semantics of these expressions are
equivalent, however they may introduce inaccurate template type checking
errors as the literal type is lost, for example:
```ts
@Component({
template: `<button [disabled]="isAdjacent(-1)"></button>`
})
export class Example {
isAdjacent(direction: -1 | 1): boolean { return false; }
}
```
would incorrectly report a type-check error:
> error TS2345: Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to parameter
of type '-1 | 1'.
Additionally, the translated expression for the unary + operator would be
considered as arithmetic expression with an incompatible left-hand side:
> error TS2362: The left-hand side of an arithmetic operation must be of
type 'any', 'number', 'bigint' or an enum type.
To resolve this issues, the implicit transformation should be avoided.
This commit adds a new unary AST node to represent these expressions,
allowing for more accurate type-checking.

In Ivy, Angular decorators are compiled into static fields that are
inserted into a class declaration in a TypeScript transform. When
targeting Closure compiler such fields need to be annotated with
`@nocollapse` to prevent them from being lifted from a static field into
a variable, as that would prevent the Ivy runtime from being able to
find the compiled definitions.
Previously, there was a bug in TypeScript where synthetic comments added
in a transform would not be emitted at all, so as a workaround a global
regex-replace was done in the emit's `writeFile` callback that would add
the `@nocollapse` annotation to all static Ivy definition fields. This
approach is no longer possible when ngtsc is running as TypeScript
plugin, as a plugin cannot control emit behavior.
The workaround is no longer necessary, as synthetic comments are now
properly emitted, likely as of
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/22141 which has been
released with TypeScript 2.8.
This change is required for running ngtsc as TypeScript plugin in
Bazel's `ts_library` rule, to move away from the custom `ngc_wrapped`
approach.

This commit changes the Angular compiler (ivy-only) to generate `$localize`
tagged strings for component templates that use `i18n` attributes.
BREAKING CHANGE
Since `$localize` is a global function, it must be included in any applications
that use i18n. This is achieved by importing the `@angular/localize` package
into an appropriate bundle, where it will be executed before the renderer
needs to call `$localize`. For CLI based projects, this is best done in
the `polyfills.ts` file.
```ts
import '@angular/localize';
```
For non-CLI applications this could be added as a script to the index.html
file or another suitable script file.

Previously ngtsc would use a tuple of class types for listing metadata
in .d.ts files. For example, an @NgModule's declarations might be
represented with the type:
[NgIf, NgForOf, NgClass]
If the module had no declarations, an empty tuple [] would be produced.
This has two problems.
1. If the class type has generic type parameters, TypeScript will
complain that they're not provided.
2. The empty tuple type is not actually legal.
This commit addresses both problems.
1. Class types are now represented using the `typeof` operator, so the
above declarations would be represented as:
[typeof NgIf, typeof NgForOf, typeof NgClass].
Since typeof operates on a value, it doesn't require generic type
arguments.
2. Instead of an empty tuple, `never` is used to indicate no metadata.

This commit adds a new compiler pipeline that isn't dependent on global
analysis, referred to as 'ngtsc'. This new compiler is accessed by
running ngc with "enableIvy" set to "ngtsc". It reuses the same initialization
logic but creates a new implementation of Program which does not perform the
global-level analysis that AngularCompilerProgram does. It will be the
foundation for the production Ivy compiler.

When the compiler generates a reference to an exported variable in the
same file, it inserts a synthetic ts.Identifier node. In CommonJS
output, this synthetic node would not be properly rewritten with an
`exports.` prefix.
This change sets the TS original node property on the synthetic node
we generate, which ensures TS knows to rewrite it in CommonJS output.

The "enableIvy" compiler option is the initial implementation
of the Render3 (or Ivy) code generation. This commit enables
generation generating "Hello, World" (example in the test)
but not much else. It is currenly only useful for internal Ivy
testing as Ivy is in development.

Previously, this code would unconditionally add a @fileoverview
comment to generated files, and only if the contained any code at all.
However often existing fileoverview comments should be copied from the
file the generated file was originally based off of. This allows users
to e.g. include Closure Compiler directives in their original
`component.ts` file, which will then automaticallly also apply to code
generated from it.
This special cases `@license` comments, as Closure disregards directives
in comments containing `@license`.

Assocating each template node with a the generated TypeScript
generated overly verbose source maps. Changed to creating a
source map entry per unique source span instead of each
unique template ast node.
Fixes: #19537

The source map does not currently work with the transformer pipeline.
It will be re-enabled after TypeScript 2.4 is made the min version.
To revert to the former compiler, use the `disableTransformerPipeline` in
tsconfig.json:
```
{
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"disableTransformerPipeline": true
}
}
```
