The new expression lowering lowers everything after `useValue` / `useFactory`
into a separate exported variable. If the value was a `forwardRef`, this
was passed to the runtime and resulted in errors.
This change unwraps `forwardRef`s during runtime again.
Note: we can’t unwrap the `forwardRef` into an exported variable
during compile time, as this would defeat the purpose of the
`forwardRef` in referring to something that can’t be referred to
at this position.
- optimize the way node flags are propagated in `viewDef()`,
- fix `elementDef()` signature to make `namespaceAndName` nullable,
- move render parent computation with the parent computation

The private classes `ApplicationRef_`, `PlatformRef_`, `JSONPConnection_`, `JSONPBackend_`, `ClientMessageBrokerFactory_`, `ServiceMessageBroker_`, `ClientMessageBroker_` and `ServiceMessageBrokerFactory_` have been removed and merged into their public equivalents.
The size of the minified umd bundles have been slightly decreased:
| package | before | after |
| -------------------|------------|------------|
| core | 217.791 kb | 217.144 kb |
| http | 33.260 kb | 32.838 kb |

Add testability hook to downgraded component so that protractor can wait for asynchronous call to complete.
Add unregisterApplication() and unregisterAllApplications() to testability registry for cleaning up testability and unit test.
BREAKING CHANGE: `NgFor` has been removed as it was deprecated since v4. Use `NgForOf` instead. This does not impact the use of`*ngFor` in your templates.

BREAKING CHANGE: `DifferFactory.create` no longer takes ChangeDetectionRef as a first argument as it was not used and deprecated since v4.

After this, neither @angular/compiler nor @angular/comnpiler-cli depend
on @angular/core.
This add a duplication of some interfaces and enums which is stored
in @angular/compiler/src/core.ts
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `@angular/platform-server` now additionally depends on
`@angular/platform-browser-dynamic` as a peer dependency.

This change allows users to specify multiple exportAs names for a
directive by giving a comma-delimited list inside the string.
The primary motivation for this change is to allow these names to be
changed in a backwards compatible way.
toString() from DefaultIterableDiffer is only used in tests and should not
be part of the production code. toString() methods from differs add
~ 0.3KB (min+gzip) to the production bundle size.
BREAKING CHANGE
It is no longer possible to declare classes in this format.
```
Component({...}).
Class({
constructor: function() {...}
})
```
This format would only work with JIT and with ES5. This mode doesn’t
allow build tools like Webpack to process and optimize the code, which
results in prohibitively large bundles. We are removing this API
because we are trying to ensure that everyone is on the fast path by
default, and it is not possible to get on the fast path using the ES5
DSL. The replacement is to use TypeScript and `@Decorator` format.
```
@Component({...})
class {
constructor() {...}
}
```
This change allows ReflectiveInjector to be tree shaken resulting
in not needed Reflect polyfil and smaller bundles.
Code savings for HelloWorld using Closure:
Reflective: bundle.js: 105,864(34,190 gzip)
Static: bundle.js: 154,889(33,555 gzip)
645( 2%)
BREAKING CHANGE:
`platformXXXX()` no longer accepts providers which depend on reflection.
Specifically the method signature when from `Provider[]` to
`StaticProvider[]`.
Example:
Before:
```
[
MyClass,
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA}
]
```
After:
```
[
{provide: MyClass, deps: [Dep1,...]},
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA, deps: [Dep1,...]}
]
```
NOTE: This only applies to platform creation and providers for the JIT
compiler. It does not apply to `@Compotent` or `@NgModule` provides
declarations.
Benchpress note: Previously Benchpress also supported reflective
provides, which now require static providers.
DEPRECATION:
- `ReflectiveInjector` is now deprecated as it will be remove. Use
`Injector.create` as a replacement.

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.

Destructuring of the form:
function foo({a, b}: {a?, b?} = {})
breaks strictNullChecks, due to the TypeScript bug https://github.com/microsoft/typescript/issues/10078.
This change eliminates usage of destructuring in function argument lists in cases where it would leak
into the public API .d.ts.
toString() from DefaultKeyValueDiffer is only used in tests and should not
be part of the production code. toString() methods from differs add
~ 0.3KB (min+gzip) to the production bundle size.
This is required as e.g. `token` from `@Inject` is
accessed in string form via makeParamDecorator
but as a property in the `ReflectiveInjector`.
Closes#16889 as this is a more general fix.
