When `checkTypeOfPipes` is set to `false`, our TCB currently generates
the a statement like the following when pipes appear in the template:
`(_pipe1 as any).transform(args)`
This did enable us to get _some_ information from the Language Service
about pipes in this case because we still had access to the pipe
instance. However, because it is immediately cast to `any`, we cannot
get type information about the transform access. That means actions like "go to
definition", "find references", "quick info", etc. will return
incomplete information or fail altogether.
Instead, this commit changes the TCB to generate `(_pipe1.transform as any)(args)`.
This gives us the ability to get complete information for the LS
operations listed above.

This commit changes the reference emitters in the Ivy compiler to prefer
non-aliased exports if they exist. This avoids selecting "private
exports" that may not be stable, e.g. the reexports that have been added
by the View Engine compiler. Such reexports are not stable and are
therefore not suitable to be emitted into partial compilations, as the
output of partial compilations should only reference stable symbols
from upstream libraries.
An alternative solution has been considered where ViewEngine-generated
exports would gain a certain prefix, such that the Ivy compiler could
just exclude those exports (see #41443). However, that solution would
be insufficient in case a library is built using partial compilation and
while depending itself on a VE-compiled library from earlier versions of
Angular, where the magic prefix would be missing. For such libraries,
ngcc would have generated reexports using the declared name if not already
present so this change does result in choosing the correct export.
Because ngcc always generates reexports using the declared name even if
an aliased export is present, this change causes those ngcc-generated
exports to be chosen in downstream libraries using partial compilation.
This is unfortunate as it means that the declared names become
effectively public even if the library author was intentionally
exporting it using an alias. This commit does not address this problem;
it is expected that this should not result in widespread issues across
the library ecosystem.

We have a check that determines whether to generate property binding instructions for an `ng-template`. The check looks at whether the tag name is exactly `ng-template`, but the problem is that if the tag is placed in a non-HTML namespace (e.g. `svg`), the tag name will actually be `:namespace:ng-template` and the check will fail.
These changes resolve the issue by looking at the tag name without the namespace.
Fixes#41308.

Currently if a component defines a template inline, but not through a
string literal, the partial compilation references the template expression
as is. This is problematic because the component declaration can no longer
be processed by the linker later as there is no static interpretation. e.g.
```js
const myTemplate = `...`;
TestCmp.ɵcmp = i0.ɵɵngDeclareComponent({
version: "0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER",
type: TestCmp,
selector: "test-cmp",
ngImport: i0,
template: myTemplate,
isInline: true
});
```
To fix this, we use the the resolved template in such cases so that
the linker can process the template/component declaration as expected.

Previously, it was not possible to block a partial-linker from trying to
process a declaration that was defined in a newer version of Angular than
that of the partial-linker. For example, if a partial-linker was published as
part of version 12.0.0, there was no way for a partially-compiled declaration
compiled via version 13.0.0 to tell the 12.0.0 linker that it would be invalid
to attempt to process it.
This commit adds a new `minVersion` property to partial-declarations, which is
interpreted as the "minimum partial-linker version" that can process this
declaration. When selecting a partial-linker for such a declaration, the known
linker version ranges are checked to find the most recent linker whose version
range has an overlap with the interpreted declaration range.
This approach allows us to set a minimum version for a declaration, which
can inform an old partial-linker that will it not be able to accurately
process the declaration.
Note that any pre-release part to versions are ignored in this selection
process.
The file-linker can be configured, via the `unknownDeclarationVersionHandling`
property of `LinkerOptions`, to handle such a situation in one of three ways:
- `error` - the version mismatch is a fatal error
- `warn` - a warning is sent to the logger but the most recent partial-linker
will attempt to process the declaration anyway.
- `ignore` - the most recent partial-linker will, silently, attempt to process
the declaration.
The default is to throw an error.

Th `ɵɵFactoryDef` type will appear in published libraries, via their typings

BREAKING CHANGE:
Switching default of `emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue`
which changes the default behavior and may cause some applications which
rely on the incorrect behavior to fail.
`emitDistinctChangesOnly` flag has also been deprecated and will be
removed in a future major release.
The previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in an artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail, and it should not be the thing that determines
how often change event should fire.
Unfortunately, fixing the behavior outright caused too many existing
applications to fail. For this reason, Angular considers this fix a
breaking fix and has introduced a flag in `@ContentChildren` and
`@ViewChildren`, that controls the behavior.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option is the new default with this change.
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}
```
For backward compatibility before v12
`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change
changes the default to `true`.

Previously, injector definitions contained a `factory` property that
was used to create a new instance of the associated NgModule class.
Now this factory has been moved to its own `ɵfac` static property on the
NgModule class itself. This is inline with how directives, components and
pipes are created.
There is a small size increase to bundle sizes for each NgModule class,
because the `ɵfac` takes up a bit more space:
Before:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({factory: function(t) { return new (t || n) }, imports: [[e.a.forChild(s)], e.a]}),
n
})(),
```
After:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275fac = function(t) { return new (t || n) },
n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({imports: [[r.a.forChild(s)], r.a]}),
n
})(),
```
In other words `n.\u0275fac = ` is longer than `factory: ` (by 5 characters)
and only because the tooling insists on encoding `ɵ` as `\u0275`.
This can be mitigated in a future PR by only generating the `ɵfac` property
if it is actually needed.

emmit either @__PURE__ or @pureOrBreakMyCode annotation based on whether we are

a build optimizer rewrite will be necessary so we can't remove it, we can only simplify it).

The `template` and `isInline` fields were previously stored in a nested
object, which was initially done to accommodate for additional template
information to support accurate source maps for external templates. In
the meantime the source mapping has been accomplished in a different
way, and I feel this flattened structure is simpler and smaller so is
preferable over the nested object. This change also makes the `isInline`
property optional with a default value of `false`.

The types of directives and pipes that are used in a component's
template may be emitted into the partial declaration wrapped inside a
closure, which is needed when the type is declared later in the module.
This poses a problem for JIT compilation of partial declarations, as
this closure is indistinguishable from a class reference itself. To mark
the forward reference function as such, this commit changes the partial
declaration codegen to emit a `forwardRef` invocation wrapped around
the closure, which ensures that the closure is properly tagged as a
forward reference. This allows the forward reference to be treated as
such during JIT compilation.

Prior to this change, the `setClassMetadata` call would be invoked
inside of an IIFE that was marked as pure. This allows the call to be
tree-shaken away in production builds, as the `setClassMetadata` call
is only present to make the original class metadata available to the
testing infrastructure. The pure marker is problematic, though, as the
`setClassMetadata` call does in fact have the side-effect of assigning
the metadata into class properties. This has worked under the assumption
that only build optimization tools perform tree-shaking, however modern
bundlers are also able to elide calls that have been marked pure so this
assumption does no longer hold. Instead, an `ngDevMode` guard is used
which still allows the call to be elided but only by tooling that is
configured to consider `ngDevMode` as constant `false` value.

This commit implements partial compilation of components, together with

This commit does not yet enable accurate source maps into external
templates. This requires additional work to account for escape sequences
which is non-trivial. Inline templates that were represented using a

output, so their source maps should be accurate. Note, however, that
the accuracy of source maps is not currently verified in tests; this is
also left as future work.

reflect the generated code for components. Please note that the current
