In the past, @Injectable had no side effects and existing Angular code is
therefore littered with @Injectable usage on classes which are not intended
to be injected.
A common example is:
@Injectable()
class Foo {
constructor(private notInjectable: string) {}
}
and somewhere else:
providers: [{provide: Foo, useFactory: ...})
Here, there is no need for Foo to be injectable - indeed, it's impossible
for the DI system to create an instance of it, as it has a non-injectable
constructor. The provider configures a factory for the DI system to be
able to create instances of Foo.
Adding @Injectable in Ivy signifies that the class's own constructor, and
not a provider, determines how the class will be created.
This commit adds logic to compile classes which are marked with @Injectable
but are otherwise not injectable, and create an ngInjectableDef field with
a factory function that throws an error. This way, existing code in the wild
continues to compile, but if someone attempts to use the injectable it will
fail with a useful error message.
In the case where strictInjectionParameters is set to true, a compile-time
error is thrown instead of the runtime error, as ngtsc has enough
information to determine when injection couldn't possibly be valid.

A small bug caused base factory variable statements for @Component to
not be emitted properly. At the same time as this is fixed, those
statements are now emitted as const.

This commit creates an API for factory functions which allows them
to be inherited from one another. To do so, it differentiates between
the factory function as a wrapper for a constructor and the factory
function in ngInjectableDefs which is determined by a default
provider.
The new form is:
factory: (t?) => new (t || SomeType)(inject(Dep1), inject(Dep2))
The 't' parameter allows for constructor inheritance. A subclass with
no declared constructor inherits its constructor from the superclass.
With the 't' parameter, a subclass can call the superclass' factory
function and use it to create an instance of the subclass.
For @Injectables with configured providers, the factory function is
of the form:
factory: (t?) => t ? constructorInject(t) : provider();
where constructorInject(t) creates an instance of 't' using the
naturally declared constructor of the type, and where provider()
creates an instance of the base type using the special declared
provider on @Injectable.

Previously ngtsc had a few bugs handling special token types:
* Injector was not properly translated to INJECTOR
* ChangeDetectorRef was not injected via injectChangeDetectorRef()
This commit fixes these two bugs, and also adds a test to ensure
they continue to work correctly.

inject() was changed in da31db7 to not take a default value parameter,
so injectable_compiler_2 should not request the use of one when
using inject().

Previously, the compileComponent() and compileDirective() APIs still required
the output of global analysis, even though they only read local information
from that output.
With this refactor, compileComponent() and compileDirective() now define
their inputs explicitly, with the new interfaces R3ComponentMetadata and
R3DirectiveMetadata. compileComponentGlobal() and compileDirectiveGlobal()
are introduced and convert from global analysis output into the new metadata
format.
This refactor also splits out the view compiler into separate files as
r3_view_compiler_local.ts was getting unwieldy.
Finally, this refactor also splits out generation of DI factory functions
into a separate r3_factory utility as the logic is utilized between different
compilers.
