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.

Ivy definition looks something like this:
```
class MyService {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
…
});
}
```
Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an opaque token.
For this reson why declare the return value of `defineInjectable` as `never`.
