By default, the value and validation status of a `FormControl` updates
whenever its value changes. If an application has heavy validation
requirements, updating on every text change can sometimes be too expensive.
This commit introduces a new option that improves performance by delaying
form control updates until the "blur" event. To use it, set the `updateOn`
option to `blur` when instantiating the `FormControl`.
```ts
// example without validators
const c = new FormControl(, { updateOn: blur });
// example with validators
const c= new FormControl(, {
validators: Validators.required,
updateOn: blur
});
```
Like in AngularJS, setting `updateOn` to `blur` will delay the update of
the value as well as the validation status. Updating value and validity
together keeps the system easy to reason about, as the two will always be
in sync. It's also worth noting that the value/validation pipeline does
still run when the form is initialized (in order to support initial values).
Closes#7113
The static reflectory check for macro function recursion was too
agressive and disallowed calling a function with argument that also
calls the same function. For example, it disallowed nested animation
groups.
Fixes: #17467
FormControls, FormGroups, and FormArrays now optionally accept an options
object as their second argument. Validators and async validators can be
passed in as part of this options object (though they can still be passed
in as the second and third arg as before).
```ts
const c = new FormControl(, {
validators: [Validators.required],
asyncValidators: [myAsyncValidator]
});
```
This commit also adds support for passing arrays of validators and async
validators to FormGroups and FormArrays, which formerly only accepted
individual functions.
```ts
const g = new FormGroup({
one: new FormControl()
}, [myPasswordValidator, myOtherValidator]);
```
This change paves the way for adding more options to AbstractControls,
such as more fine-grained control of validation timing.
Angular can make many assumptions about its event handlers. As a result
the bookkeeping for native addEventListener is significantly cheaper
than Zone's addEventLister which can't make such assumptions.
This change bypasses the Zone's addEventListener if present and always
uses the native addEventHandler. As a result registering event listeners
is about 3 times faster.

In previous version of tsickle abstract class methods were materialized.
The change resulted in 6Kb savings in angular.io bundle.
This change also required the removal of `@private` and `@return` type
annotation as it is explicitly dissalowed by tsickle.
NOTE: removed casts in front of `makeDecorator` due to:

In Node.JS console.log/error/warn functions actually resuls in a socket
write which in turn is considered by Zone.js as an async task.
This means that if there is any exception during change detection in a platform-server
application the error handler will make the Angular Zone unstable which
in turn will cause change detection to run on next tick and cause an
infinite loop.
It is also better to run the error handler outside of the Angular Zone
in general on all platforms so that an error in the error handler itself doesn't cause an
infinite loop.
Fixes#17073, #7774.
