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.

Previously, some of the *Def symbols were not exported or were exported
as public API. This commit ensures every definition type is in the
private export namespace.

This change adds support for host bindings to ngtsc, and parses them
both from decorators and from the metadata in the top-level annotation.

@NgModule()s get compiled to two fields: ngModuleDef and ngInjectorDef.
Both fields contain imports, as both selector scopes and injectors have
the concept of composed units of configuration. Previously these fields
were generated by static resolution of imports and exports in metadata.
Support for ModuleWithProviders requires they be generated differently.
ngModuleDef's imports/exports are generated as resolved lists of types,
whereas ngInjectorDef's imports should reflect the raw expressions that
the developer wrote in the metadata.
This change modifies the NgModule handler and properly copies raw nodes
for the imports and exports into the ngInjectorDef.

Previously ngtsc had a few bugs handling special token types:
* Injector was not properly translated to INJECTOR
* ChangeDetectorRef was not injected via injectChangeDetectorRef()
This commit fixes these two bugs, and also adds a test to ensure
they continue to work correctly.

Within an @NgModule it's common to include in the imports a call to
a ModuleWithProviders function, for example RouterModule.forRoot().
The old ngc compiler was able to handle this pattern because it had
global knowledge of metadata of not only the input compilation unit
but also all dependencies.
The ngtsc compiler for Ivy doesn't have this knowledge, so the
pattern of ModuleWithProviders functions is more difficult. ngtsc
must be able to determine which module is imported via the function
in order to expand the selector scope and properly tree-shake
directives and pipes.
This commit implements a solution to this problem, by adding a type
parameter to ModuleWithProviders through which the actual module
type can be passed between compilation units.
The provider side isn't a problem because the imports are always
copied directly to the ngInjectorDef.

On accident a few of the definition types were emitted as public API
symbols. Much of the Ivy API surface is still prefixed with ɵ,
indicating it's a private API. The definition types should be private
for now.

This commit adds support for templateUrl in component templates within
ngtsc. The compilation pipeline is split into sync and async versions,
where asynchronous compilation invokes a special preanalyze() phase of
analysis. The preanalyze() phase can optionally return a Promise which
will delay compilation until it resolves.
A ResourceLoader interface is used to resolve templateUrls to template
strings and can return results either synchronously or asynchronously.
During sync compilation it is an error if the ResourceLoader returns a
Promise.
Two ResourceLoader implementations are provided. One uses 'fs' to read
resources directly from disk and is chosen if the CompilerHost doesn't
provide a readResource method. The other wraps the readResource method
from CompilerHost if it's provided.

This change generates ngInjectorDef as well as ngModuleDef for @NgModule
annotated types, reflecting the dual nature of @NgModules as both compilation
scopes and as DI configuration containers.
This required implementing ngInjectorDef compilation in @angular/compiler as
well as allowing for multiple generated definitions for a single decorator in
the core of ngtsc.

This change supports compilation of components, directives, and modules
within ngtsc. Support is not complete, but is enough to compile and test
//packages/core/test/bundling/todo in full AOT mode. Code size benefits
are not yet achieved as //packages/core itself does not get compiled, and
some decorators (e.g. @Input) are not stripped, leading to unwanted code
being retained by the tree-shaker. This will be improved in future commits.
PR Close#24427
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.
