In the integration test suite of ngcc, we load a set of files from
`node_modules` into memory. This includes the `typescript` package and
`@angular` scoped packages, which account for a large number of large
files that needs to be loaded from disk. This commit moves this work
to the top-level, such that it doesn't have to be repeated in all tests.
PR Close#38840
Recent optimizations to ngcc have significantly reduced the total time
it takes to process `node_modules`, to such extend that sharding across
multiple processes has become less effective. Previously, running
ngcc asynchronously would allow for up to 8 workers to be allocated,
however these workers have to repeat work that could otherwise be shared.
Because ngcc is now able to reuse more shared computations, the overhead
of multiple workers is increased and therefore becomes less effective.
As an additional benefit, having fewer workers requires less memory and
less startup time.
To give an idea, using the following test setup:
```bash
npx @angular/cli new perf-test
cd perf-test
yarn ng add @angular/material
./node_modules/.bin/ngcc --properties es2015 module main \
--first-only --create-ivy-entry-points
```
We observe the following figures on CI:
| | 10.1.1 | PR #38840 |
| ----------------- | --------- | --------- |
| Sync | 85s | 25s |
| Async (8 workers) | 22s | 16s |
| Async (4 workers) | - | 11s |
In addition to changing the default number of workers, ngcc will now
use the environment variable `NGCC_MAX_WORKERS` that may be configured
to either reduce or increase the number of workers.

ngcc creates typically two `ts.Program` instances for each entry-point,
one for processing sources and another one for processing the typings.
The creation of these programs is somewhat expensive, as it concerns
module resolution and parsing of source files.
This commit implements several layers of caching to optimize the
creation of programs:
1. A shared module resolution cache across all entry-points within a
single invocation of ngcc. Both the sources and typings program
benefit from this cache.
2. Sharing the parsed `ts.SourceFile` for a single entry-point between
the sources and typings program.
3. Sharing parsed `ts.SourceFile`s of TypeScript's default libraries
across all entry-points within a single invocation. Some of these
default library typings are large and therefore expensive to parse,
so sharing the parsed source files across all entry-points offers
a significant performance improvement.
Using a bare CLI app created using `ng new` + `ng add @angular/material`,
the above changes offer a 3-4x improvement in ngcc's processing time
when running synchronously and ~2x improvement for asynchronous runs.

When type-checking a component, the declaring NgModule scope is used
to create a directive matcher that contains flattened directive metadata,
i.e. the metadata of a directive and its base classes. This computation
is done for all components, whereas the type-check scope is constant per
NgModule. Additionally, the flattening of metadata is constant per
directive instance so doesn't necessarily have to be recomputed for
each component.
This commit introduces a `TypeCheckScopes` class that is responsible
for flattening directives and computing the scope per NgModule. It
caches the computed results as appropriate to avoid repeated computation.
PR Close#38539
For the compilation of a component, the compiler has to prepare some
information about the directives and pipes that are used in the template.
This information includes an expression for directives/pipes, for usage
within the compilation output. For large NgModule compilation scopes
this has shown to introduce a performance hotspot, as the generation of
expressions is quite expensive. This commit reduces the performance
overhead by only generating expressions for the directives/pipes that
are actually used within the template, significantly cutting down on
the compiler's resolve phase.

Currently we validate the configuration file on each `getConfig`
invocation. We can only validate once since the configuration
is cached.
Also while being at it, renames the cache variables to lower-case as those
do not represent constants (which are convention-wise upper case).

This commit creates a sample router test application to introduce the
symbol tests. It serves as a guard to ensure that any future work on the
router package does not unintentionally increase the payload size.
PR Close#38714
Recent work on compiler internals in #38539 led to an unexpected failure,
where a pipe used exclusively inside of an ICU would no longer be
emitted into the compilation output. This caused runtime errors due to
missing pipes.
The issue occurred because the change in #38539 would determine the set
of used pipes up-front, independent from the template compilation using
the `R3TargetBinder`. However, `R3TargetBinder` did not consider
expressions within ICUs, so any pipe usages within those expressions
would not be detected. This fix unblocks #38539 and also concerns
upcoming linker work, given that prelink compilations would not go
through full template compilation but only `R3TargetBinder`.

the reason is in zone.js 0.11.0, the `files` field is used to specify the

0.11.1 remove the `files` field, which cause the `type` definition gone.

To discourage developers from mutating the arrays returned
from the following methods, their return types have been marked
as readonly.
* `getLocaleDayPeriods()`
* `getLocaleDayNames()`
* `getLocaleMonthNames()`
* `getLocaleEraNames()`
Fixes#27003
BREAKING CHANGE:
The locale data API has been marked as returning readonly arrays, rather
than mutable arrays, since these arrays are shared across calls to the
API. If you were mutating them (e.g. calling `sort()`, `push()`, `splice()`, etc)
then your code will not longer compile. If you need to mutate the array, you
should now take a copy (e.g. by calling `slice()`) and mutate the copy.

In a microsyntax expressions, some attributes are not bound after
desugaring. For example,
```html
<div *ngFor="let item of items">
</div>
```
gets desugared to
```html
<ng-template ngFor let-items [ngForOf]="items">
</ngtemplate>
```
In this case, `ngFor` should be a literal attribute with no RHS value.
Therefore, its source span should be just the `keySpan` and not the
source span of the original template node.
This allows language service to precisely pinpoint different spans in a
microsyntax to provide accurate information.

Adds `TemplateTypeChecker` operation to retrieve the `Symbol` of a
`TmplAstVariable` or `TmplAstReference` in a template.
Sometimes we need to traverse an intermediate variable declaration to arrive at
the correct `ts.Symbol`. For example, loop variables are declared using an intermediate:
```
<div *ngFor="let user of users">
{{user.name}}
</div>
```
Getting the symbol of user here (from the expression) is tricky, because the TCB looks like:
```
var _t0 = ...; // type of NgForOf
var _t1: any; // context of embedded view for NgForOf structural directive
if (NgForOf.ngTemplateContextGuard(_t0, _t1)) {
// _t1 is now NgForOfContext<...>
var _t2 = _t1.$implicit; // let user = '$implicit'
_t2.name; // user.name expression
}
```
Just getting the `ts.Expression` for the `AST` node `PropRead(ImplicitReceiver, 'user')`
via the sourcemaps will yield the `_t2` expression. This function recognizes that `_t2`
is a variable declared locally in the TCB, and actually fetch the `ts.Symbol` of its initializer.
These special handlings show the versatility of the `Symbol`
interface defined in the API. With this, when we encounter a template variable,
we can provide the declaration node, as well as specific information
about the variable instance, such as the `ts.Type` and `ts.Symbol`.
PR Close#38618

The statements generated in the TCB are optimized for performance and producing diagnostics.
These optimizations can result in generating a TCB that does not have all the information
needed by the `TemplateTypeChecker` for retrieving `Symbol`s. For example, as an optimization,
the TCB will not generate variable declaration statements for directives that have no
references, inputs, or outputs. However, the `TemplateTypeChecker` always needs these
statements to be present in order to provide `ts.Symbol`s and `ts.Type`s for the directives.
This commit adds logic to the TCB generation to ensure the required
information is available in a form that the `TemplateTypeChecker` can
consume. It also adds an option to the `NgCompiler` that makes this
generation configurable.

This commit defines the interfaces which outline the information the
`TemplateTypeChecker` can return when requesting a Symbol for an item in the
`TemplateAst`.
Rather than providing the `ts.Symbol`, `ts.Type`, etc.
information in several separate functions, the `TemplateTypeChecker` can
instead provide all the useful information it knows about a particular
node in the `TemplateAst` and allow the callers to determine what to do
with it.

Currently, the `DatePipe` (via `formatDate()`) rounds fractions of a millisecond to the
nearest millisecond. This can cause dates that are less than a millisecond before midnight
to be incremented to the following day.
The [ECMAScript specification](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.9.1.11)
defines that `DateTime` milliseconds should always be rounded down, so that `999.9ms`
becomes `999ms`.
This change brings `formatDate()` and so `DatePipe` inline with the ECMAScript
specification.
Fixes#37989
BREAKING CHANGE:
When passing a date-time formatted string to the `DatePipe` in a format that contains
fractions of a millisecond, the milliseconds will now always be rounded down rather than
to the nearest millisecond.
Most applications will not be affected by this change. If this is not the desired behaviour
then consider pre-processing the string to round the millisecond part before passing
it to the `DatePipe`.

The `RefreshTransplantedView` flag is used to indicate that the view or one of its children
is transplanted and dirty, so it should still be refreshed as part of change detection.
This flag is set on the transplanted view itself as well setting a
counter on as its parents.
When a transplanted view is detached and still has this flag, it means
it got detached before it was refreshed. This can happen for "backwards
references" or transplanted views that are inserted at a location that
was already checked. In this case, we should decrement the parent
counters _and_ clear the flag on the detached view so it's not seen as
"transplanted" anymore (it is detached and has no parent counters to
adjust).
