Currently we have a lot of places where we repeat the type `Type<T>|AbstractType<T>|InjectionToken<T>` which makes it cumbersome to add another type or to type something else with the same signature.
These changes add a new type that can be used instead.

When an Ivy NgModule is imported into a View Engine build, it doesn't have
metadata.json files that describe it as an NgModule, so it appears to VE
builds as a plain, undecorated class. The error message shown in this

annotation to a class from a library.
This commit adds special detection into the View Engine compiler to give a
more specific error message when an Ivy NgModule is imported.

This commit marks the `compilationMode` compiler option as stable, such
that libraries can be compiled in partial compilation mode.
In partial compilation mode, the compiler's output changes from fully
compiled AOT definitions to an intermediate form using partial
declarations. This form is suitable to be published to NPM, which now
allows libraries to be compiled and published using the Ivy compiler.
Please be aware that libraries that have been compiled using this mode
can only be used in Angular 12 applications and up; they cannot be used
when Ivy is disabled (i.e. when using View Engine) or in versions of
Angular prior to 12. The `compilationMode` option has no effect if
`enableIvy: false` is used.

relative position to the current page.
We add some tests to `location_spec.ts` to validate the behavior of the

Note that this was made an optional function in the abstract classes to
avoid a breaking change. Because our location classes use `implements PlatformLocation`
rather than `extends PlatformLocation`, simply adding a default
implementation was not sufficient to make this a non-breaking change.
While we could fix the classes internal to Angular, this would still have been
a breaking change for any external developers who may have followed our

The Ivy Language Service uses the compiler's template type-checking engine,
which honors the configuration in the user's tsconfig.json. We recommend
that users upgrade to `strictTemplates` mode in their projects to take
advantage of the best possible type inference, and thus to have the best
experience in Language Service.
If a project is not using `strictTemplates`, then the compiler will not
leverage certain type inference options it has. One case where this is very
noticeable is the inference of let- variables for structural directives that
provide a template context guard (such as NgFor). Without `strictTemplates`,
these guards will not be applied and such variables will be inferred as
'any', degrading the user experience within Language Service.
This is working as designed, since the Language Service _should_ reflect
types exactly as the compiler sees them. However, the View Engine Language
Service used its own type system that _would_ infer these types even when
the compiler did not. As a result, it's confusing to some users why the
Ivy Language Service has "worse" type inference.
To address this confusion, this commit implements a suggestion diagnostic
which is shown in the Language Service for variables which could have been
narrowed via a context guard, but the type checking configuration didn't
allow it. This should make the reason why variables receive the 'any' type
as well as the action needed to improve the typings much more obvious,
improving the Language Service experience.

A long-requested feature for HttpClient is the ability to store and retrieve
custom metadata for requests, especially in interceptors. This commit
implements this functionality via a new context object for requests.
Each outgoing HttpRequest now has an associated "context", an instance of
the HttpContext class. An HttpContext can be provided when making a request,
or if not then an empty context is created for the new request. This context
shares its lifecycle with the entire request, even across operations that
change the identity of the HttpRequest instance such as RxJS retries.
The HttpContext functions as an expando. Users can create typed tokens as instances of HttpContextToken, and
read/write a value for the key from any HttpContext object.
This commit implements the HttpContext functionality. A followup commit will
add angular.io documentation.

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.

This commit updates the type of the `APP_INITIALIZER` injection token to
better document the expected types of values that Angular handles. Only
Promises and Observables are awaited and other types of values are ignored,
so the type of `APP_INITIALIZER` has been updated to
`Promise<unknown> | Observable<unknown> | void` to reflect this behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The type of the `APP_INITIALIZER` token has been changed to more accurately
reflect the types of return values that are handled by Angular. Previously,
each initializer callback was typed to return `any`, this is now
`Promise<unknown> | Observable<unknown> | void`. In the unlikely event that
your application uses the `Injector.get` or `TestBed.inject` API to inject
the `APP_INITIALIZER` token, you may need to update the code to account for
the stricter type.
Additionally, TypeScript may report the TS2742 error if the `APP_INITIALIZER`
token is used in an expression of which its inferred type has to be emitted
into a .d.ts file. To workaround this, an explicit type annotation is needed,
which would typically be `Provider` or `Provider[]`.

There is a small "hack" that is needed to make this work, which is that
outlets must register with `ChildrenOutletContexts`, but it currently
only accepts our `RouterOutlet`.
By exposing the interface the `Router` uses to activate and deactivate
routes through outlets, we allow for developers to more easily and safely
extend the `Router` and have fine-tuned control over navigation and component
activation that fits project requirements.

`@angular/platform-server` provides the foundation for rendering an
Angular app on the server. In order to achieve that, it uses a
server-side DOM implementation (currently [domino][1]).
For rendering on the server to work as closely as possible to running
the app on the browser, we need to make DOM globals (such as `Element`,
`HTMLElement`, etc.), which are normally provided by the browser,
available as globals on the server as well.
Currently, `@angular/platform-server` achieves this by extending the
`global` object with the DOM implementation provided by `domino`. This
assignment happens in the [setDomTypes()][2] function, which is
[called in a `PLATFORM_INITIALIZER`][3]. While this works in most cases,
there are some scenarios where the DOM globals are needed sooner (i.e.
before initializing the platform). See, for example, #24551 and #39950
for more details on such issues.
This commit provides a way to solve this problem by exposing a
side-effect-ful entry-point (`@angular/platform-server/init`), that
shims the `global` object with DOM globals. People will be able to
import this entry-point in their server-rendered apps before
bootstrapping the app (for example, in their `main.server.ts` file).
(See also [#39950 (comment)][4].)
In a future update, the [`universal` schematics][5] will include such an
import by default in newly generated projects.

* sync/async validators are now composed in `AbstractControlDirective` class eagerly when validators
are set with `_setValidators` and `_setAsyncValidators` calls and the result is stored in directive
instance (thus getters return cached versions of validator fn). This is needed to make sure composed
validator function remains the same (retains its identity) for a given directive instance, so that
this function can be added and later removed from an instance of an AbstractControl-based class
(like `FormControl`). Preserving validator function is required to perform proper cleanup (in followup
